For this event I chose one of my favourite lookout tower.

It resides in Matra, this is the highest Mountain of Hungary. We took our
tents and did a holiday camp in the nature. Finally I’ve finished my studies
at the St. Istvan University so it was also a good occasion to celebrate my
diploma in Communication Techniques Engineering. The moral was also very
elevated, at least after some Tequilas.

Anyway, this lookout tower served as an oil drill some hundred kilometres
away that place, near Szeged. (A hungarian city.) After the site was
exhausted in the late sixties the tower was brought here with large effort
to enjoy the beautiful panorama from the top of it.

After the pano-shoot we visited the other hills, and came back to the car at the afternoon.
This pano was made about a mile far away from the car, at the end of the tour.

Taking panorama at the Pig-Rock

Today we had a hike at the Mátra, the highest mountain in Hungary.
After an hour of walk in the dark woods at moonlight we reached
the Pig-Rock at dawn.

We’ve arrived at about 5:30am and walked an hour at moonlight in the dark woods.
After some almost-falls and muckers we’ve reached the “Disznókő” (“Pig-Rock”),
it is a hill with a beautiful sight to the sunrise.
The temperature was low but it worth it.
