It was a good decision to take the bus out of town. In Hassagy, I am watched very skeptically as I leave the main road on a field path. Navigating is now more demanding, as I am missing the white-blue-white markings. Again and again, I take the GPS out of my pocket and check which way I need to go. Because

Today I had a leisurely hike to Pecs. However, I left the Rockenbauer Kektura and took a direct, shorter route. For the last stretch through the city, I treated myself to the bus.

I can hardly believe my luck. This morning I started in Simonfa, where I stayed at Pension Oliva. The hike, always at the summit, with a great view over the hills, leads me to Felsökövesd. Komoot lists a guesthouse that no longer exists. At the water source, I fill my water bag and set off to find a spot for myself and my tent.

Today's stage is almost a mountain stage. There's a lot going on in Patca. Families come here to test their skills and learn new things on the outdoor or indoor course. I'm having a drink and am enthusiastic about the campsite (which, however, has been closed since yesterday).

I started again with the first light of day. Light wisps of fog lie over the fields. Deer, pheasants, and a fox are also already out.

The rain stopped yesterday at 11 a.m. and a cool but dry day awaits me. As always, the houses are built to the left and right along the road. The houses mostly have a small front garden. But behind the house is the large garden, often with fruit trees. At least two to three dogs are chasing me with loud

I'm starting relatively late. A good conversation with Klaus and Brigitte is once again very enriching. I don't care that I'm only setting off around 10 a.m. because of it. Soon I feel hungry. I sit down, make myself a coffee and eat a hard croissant and a can of liver pâté. Now I feel better and can

Today I am on long stretches of asphalt roads. In the small villages, time seems to have stood still. The houses are small and often in poor condition. Trash lies around everywhere. The people are darker-skinned and often travel by horse and cart. I suspect they are gypsies. In Nagyszacaski, I arrive

It rained last night. A cool wind is blowing, but the weather forecast for today is good (cool, but dry). My foot and finger have recovered. However, to get out of the city, I'm taking the bus to Palin.

After a starry night, I experience a dreamlike sunrise. It is cold. I have to talk myself into crawling out of the cozy warm sleeping bag and getting ready for the journey.

Over gentle hills, I reach Kislenguel. Even from afar, I see an observation platform. It's time for a short break, but for wildlife observation, I should have been here earlier. An idyllically located guesthouse offers tours.

Soon I will be back on the trail "Rockenbauer Kektura" and follow the white-blue-white markings. After a short climb, it gently goes over hills and through densely wooded areas.

In the night there was a lot going on. On the sports field, where I set up my tent, a stag bellows. I think he's no more than 20 meters away from me. It's just one. I'm told that on the open field sometimes real fights take place, observed by the in-heat hinds. Also very close I hear a little owl, roe
