The past weekend, our Hungarian friends from Fidelitas organized a tour arround lake Neusiedl. It was quite awesome :-) Our friends from Brno (Czech Republic) came along too! The first night, András was showing us around in Sopron! We did a 110km distance on the first day and on the second half-day a 40km way over some small mountains. We started in Sopron (Hungary) and were going clockwise around to Fertöd (also in Hungary)
