2020. Spring – KEK (Univestities of the Carpathian Basin Cup)
This was the second time we attended the Universities of the Carpathian Basin Cup, where our professional teams competed with other universities’ teams. We always gain valuable experiences in these competitions. In the video below you can have a glance into the matches of our football team.
2021 Spring – METOUR: Rám-szakadék
In our University Tour Series we visited the Pilis mountain and went through the Rám-szakadék – Dobogókő – Lukács árok round tour. The view was spectacular, the atmosphere was awsome and we ate a really good babgulyás together near the lookout.
2022 Spring – METOUR: Rám-szakadék
In our university hiking series our next move was going by train to Nagymaros, and from there we hiked up to the Julianus-tower and then visited the exciting Recluse-cave. The lookout from both of the spots was spectacular. From the top we came down to Zebegény where we ate our well deserved "lángos”. Check out the video and feel the great vibes of our hikes.
