Bükk Mountains: Among Spring Flowers

 During the long weekend I spent 2 days in the Bükk Mountains searching spring flowers:

I didn't miss the surroundings of Hotel Palota at Lillafüred:

Bükk Mountains: Wintertime

We planned a one day trip to the Bükk Mountains for this weekend. Some snow is expected at least on higher regions. And indeed, at the end of the road to Bánkút the ground is covered by snow. It's overcast and foggy when we set off among nice snowy trees. Reaching the Zsidó-meadow the sun appears now and then in the sky:

I decide to spend the night at Felsőtárkány and go back the next day. During the night some snow has fallen again. My target is the Zsidó-meadow again touching Tar-kő. The fog is even thicker, so I can't see anything when I get to Tar-kő. However I can find some themes on the Zsidó-meadow:

Late Autumn In Bükk Mountains

This weekend I set off to Bükk mountains again, arriving at Lillafüred at late afternoon. Next day I visited a few view places, then on the third day Három-kő was among my plans. I arrived there in the morning. In the opposite valley some fog made the pictures more interesting:

I started my last day on a view place with a look towards the Dédes castle where the lower areas were covered by fog:

Moments in Bükk and Zemplén mountains

I spent a whole week hiking in the Bükk and Zemplén mountains in the hope of some autumn photos.

On the first day I soaked a bit in the long rain but on the next day I found a nice view place near the road between Mályinka and Bánkút. These shots were taken there:

The clouds slowly disappeared but I still could take advantage of the hazy air and the sun:

Next morning I visited the "Dédes castle". The valleys were covered by low clouds:

This is the "Small castle":

I liked so much this hazy landscape that I climbed again on the "small castle" next morning, where I shot these photos:

It was worth carrying the tele lens with me!

After a few days I went to the Zeplén mountains, where I climbed from Füzér to the look-out tower on the Nagy-Milic peak. These shots were taken there:

The fog extends through the valleys:

Bükk mountains: Tar-kő

Today I paid a visit to Tar-kő in Bükk mountains. I set off early coming from Répáshuta and at 9 o'clock I was already climbing. The first viewpoint was Három-kő. It was a nice scene, but I think one can get a more beautiful landscape when the forests are dressed in autumn colours. I took a 2,5 km walk from here to Tar-kő. The sky was overcast but only above the mountains. In the plain the sun was shining. So, I decided to wait the sunset then I took a few shots:

After sunset it's getting dark quickly, so I had to walk back mainly in darkness, with a lamp of course.
