A brief description of the wilderness or outdoors programs that follow Leave No Trace principles:
We are organizing the night tour for the sixth time, during which we visit the Buda Mountains as usual. On October 3, 2023, we will discover together the beauties of the autumn forest, nature's nocturnal self.

With the help of tour guides, this time wrapped in the colors of autumn, we leave the city behind, and after admiring the sunset, we witness how the night takes over the day. We dive into the forest, where silence and darkness await. We can observe all of this from a perspective that we have perhaps never seen before.
