Here is a continuation of my post yesterday.
It was an easy walk to the village of Jásd, but there i had to gather a little strength for my further journey. I had breakfast at the grocery and waved goodbye to the village.
A very dilapidated bridge crossed the winding stream this time, and i saw no other crossing. Should i cross or not? Some planks were already missing from the bridge and the rest were rotten. Eventually, though, i walked over, it was slippery, trembling and squeaking beneath me. Unfortunately, this is not the only dangerous bridge in this area. I’m going to report it because i don’t want others (whether local kids or hikers) to have an accident.
These two planks were a little more stable. But here you can easily jump over the creek.
The bridges were followed by a small spring that was unusable because there was no outlet pipe. Water leaked directly from the ground. It would be up to the locals to solve this problem, but they don’t seem to need healthy spring water.
The source was followed by a long, steep section and I tried to go fast. I sweated thoroughly, but i knew it had a good effect on my body because if i kept that pace for half an hour, i was already burning fat from there. Anyway, i always prefer to go up a mountain than down.
The steep part is not visible in the pictures, but the snow-covered forest is beautiful in the sunshine.
Some wind turbines could be seen among the trees.
Traces showed that people had recently been here with a dog from the opposite direction.
The forest has been almost completely destroyed in many places.
I stopped at a pub in the village of Tés again, sat down on a bench and made my hot tea. There was no wind in that place and the sun was shining warmly. Tés is otherwise a very windy country because it is located on a plateau. There are also some windmills on the plateau, one of which is operational, but i haven’t gone to see them now. The blue route avoided it.
Relatively close to Tés, going down the asphalt road and continuing in the woods, the blue sign soon leads to Csőszpuszta.
It is a residential area with some houses, farm buildings and a cave exploration station.
The research station is housed in a beautiful stone house, and here is the stamp site.
There are some protected stalactite caves in the area that can only be visited by professional cavers. Here, in a tiny booth, as an memory of the past, you can see an old mining lamp.
The house is only used intermittently. It was closed now.
From here i walked through a beech forest. There was less snow, but it was cool in the valleys.
The snow was better preserved on the frozen forest roads. There were fresh piles on both sides of the road.
I met lumberjacks, they were just having lunch and warming up by the fire.
Where the noise of the Stihl saws could no longer be heard, beautiful finches sat on a tree.
I shot a lot of photos of them, but only this one got sharp enough.
I got to the Ash House in a short time. In the old days, mining took place here, the memory of which is this charming little house. I don't know if this building is being used for anything now. If left unused for a few years, it will deteriorate a lot. It can be an ideal accommodation for blue hikers.
I got lower and lower in the woods towards Kisgyón. There was no more snow here, only mud in some places. There were also views to the north.
There is a forest shrine just 2 km from my destination in Kisgyón. Here the forest replaces the temple, giving reassurance to body and soul. I had to gather a little strength here because most of the road then ran on asphalt. Another 4 kilometers, and my soles and heels can barely stand it.
There is a ruined railway bridge right in front of Kisgyón. There was no trace of the railway anymore, but it used to work because of mining.
I was already moving slowly for the last few kilometers, my feet cramped. Rigid hiking boots are not suitable for asphalt roads.
My sole and heel still hurt at night, but i felt less and less. The next day it was okay, although i usually suffer from it for several days. But now there is a solution, a quantum medical procedure. I'll tell you what it is!
