After my last tour two years ago, on which I got an indigestion in 1993 I set out to make a good and complete tour to the High Tatras. We took part three of us in this thin two weeks planned expedition: Zoltán Maráz and Rédei from Szolnok and me, from Budakalász. Based on the guys experiences we planned the tour for the middle of august. Zoltán Maráz, with whom I got acquainted in the tour in 1993, had already cycled 6 times to there and back the highest mountain-range of the Carpathians through the years, the other guy had only one. I had left 28000 kms behind me by bike in the last 5 years before 1995. We agreed to meet in Répáshuta in the Bükk mountain-range.

On the whole rainy and grey day I tried to get used to the 20 kgs heavy pack. After the tiring, hilly area before Eger I had to climb on a long ascent up to the 700m high Bükk-plateau, and after 200 kms I arrived at the Hunter-restaurant in Répáshuta, where my tourmates had already waited for me.
Next morning we left for Slovakia on a sunny, but windy weather. After Miskolc we left the third guy, who turned to the wrong direction. After an ahour failure searching we didn’t drive us to despair, because we knew that in the everning we should meet each other in te fix accomodation in Roznava, where to we planned our night. We biked in the valleys of the Aggteleki mountain-range to the hungarian border, where we got a good news: our friend, Zoli was cycling a half an hour before us. In the first few slovakian villages I saw the hungarian and slovakian names of the villages together; it was pleassure. Towards Roznava we cycled between steep, karstic and rocky 300-500m high mountains against the habitual wind. We could build up our tents in the garden an acquaintance of my two cyclemates.
