Életfa Természetbarát Egyesület (Life tree Environmentally friendly Association)

http://eletfaegyesulet.webnode.hu/fenykepgaleria/

This association was founded by a Berta (a friend from the highschool) and her husband.


Their goal is to help the society to develop a more healthy, environmentally friendly, sustainable  lifestyle. Educating them on the way of thinking through preserving and protecting the environment, and develop self-awareness.


They have a sustainable farm, where they welcome short and long term volunteers.
They often organize yoga, tai-chi and dance workshops, but also meditation, with building a "sweat lodge" .

Biofalu (Eco village)

This is a recommendation by Zsófi, my flatmate.

The site is unfortunately only in Hungarian..., but you can check more photos here:

It's an eco village where some families and people are living in their own built, mostly sustainable houses, surroundings and environment. They make their own fireplaces and they do farming for themselves, but beside this, they give a big importance to the philosophy of their lifestyle. They have some meditation, yoga and interesting few days long workshops for example about woman and man (sexual) energies. They have a really cool "Waldorf" type alternative school for their children.
The eco village is welcoming volunteers, and as I read it on the website, they never have enough! They offer food and accommodation for the help.
We could go for a visit in the spring, and maybe when you are already a fluent hungarian speaker, we could take part in some workshops as well ;)

The location is about 2 hours by bus from Budapest.

Szentendrei sziget (Szentendre island)

It's a wonderful green island of the river Danube in the north, that we can easily reach by bike. We can ride the bike to Szentendre town from Budapest, that is about 1,5-2 hours, or go by HÉV (interurban train) in 40 min. From Szentendre it's about 1,5 hours to get to the little pond on the island by bike, where we are standing with Cat on the photo. In warmer days we can also have a swim there ;)
On the way there we can cross a bridge to the island and the way back take a ferry, or the opposite.

...and some other photos of the island from the internet...

Rámszakadék

Let's have an exciting and wonderful walking trip at Rámszakadék!
The location is about 1 hour from Budapest by bus. The stream part is about 1 km long but there is a huge forest around where we can walk more 10-20km.

Esztergom

Esztergom is a beautiful city on the riverside from the north of Budapest, about 1-1,5 hours far by bus. It's the seat of the Roman Catholic Primate of Hungary. The Cathedral is the largest church in the country.
There is a bridge where we could pass to Slovakia also by foot and have a walk in Párkány town.
