Acknowledgements

This guide would have foundered without the advice and experience of many people. Not all are mentioned here but we would like to thank in particular László Kalmár and András Dorogi of the Magyar Természetbarát Szövetség who helped to untangle the confusing strands of the history of walking in Hungary. Thanks to the following we gained much unpublished local knowledge: Zsolt Bacsó for the Aggtelek National Park; the Bükki family of Hollóháza for the Zemplén; Zoltán Répászky and the Holocén Egyesület for the Bükk National Park; and Sándor Dósa on the workings of agricultural co-operatives. We would also like to thank Mónika Horváth for her helpful comments on Hungarian history; Szabolcs Serfőző for his advice and encouragement; and Erika Komon for bringing our attention to Hungary’s challenge walk movement. In addition, the hospitality of Ferenc and Anasztázia Lippert and their son Ferike made the long hard walks around the Bakony worth every kilometre. For their kindness, many thanks to the staff of the Máré-csárda; Éva of Porva-Csesznek turistaház; the Flóriáns of Boldogkőváralja railway halt; and Tibor Bielek. Finally, we thank Joshua Shewan for his patience and the use of his facilities and the Dósa family who provided moral support and countless memorable lunches.
