In Hungary, the ‘Forest in School’ program has finalized registration for its autumn term, with 1,200 pedagogy sessions planned for 400 schools to teach children about biological diversity. Concurrently, the National Forestry Association and the Forest Sports Department launched a competition to select the ‘Forest Cycling Route of the Year’ for 2026.

Regional cycling and nature activities continue to be highlighted, including a 24-kilometer route through the Gemenc Forest floodplain in Hungary. This route features the Gemenc Forest Railway and the ‘Pörböly Titan’ tree, though forest access may face partial restrictions due to the start of hunting season. In Germany, the ‘Umanand aufm Land’ bicycle culture route is scheduled for mid-September, featuring a 35-kilometer path and various cultural programs.
