PART OF THE SALOMON GOLDEN TRAIL NATIONAL SERIES.
Tailwind Börzsöny Trail is having a course through the wild trails of the Börzsöny mountains in the area of the Duna-Ipoly National Park. It has steep climbs mixed with steep descents amongst beech trees whilst getting closer to the High-Börzsöny peaks. The forest is definitely not the only thing welcoming the runners as the course is full of viewpoints as well.
IT ALL STARTED ON THE TRAIL…
Winding trails, breathtaking views, mountain-side sunrises. Those are the things that inspired Tailwind’s founder to get outside, and he wasn’t about to let bad nutrition get in the way.
“It all began when my buddy Art suggested I pick an event and train for it. Never having raced before, I picked the Leadville 100 MTB. Go big or go home, right? I finished that first Leadville 100 and headed straight for the trash can, purging the muesli that had been with me all day. Fed up with fueling issues hijacking the blood, sweat and tears of my training, I wanted to find nutrition that spared my gut, was easy to use, tasted good, and would fuel me to the finish line – minus the breakfast, part deux. That’s what Tailwind is about. We help customers reach their goals, big or small. We’re behind you all the way. We wouldn’t be here without customers like you, and remind ourselves of that every day. We still write our customer’s name on every bag we ship and include a note. Thanks for making our journey an amazing one!“
THE GOLDEN TRAIL SERIES EXISTS TO CELEBRATE AND GROW THE SPORT OF TRAIL RUNNING.
The Golden Trail World Series exists to celebrate and evolve trail running as a sport. The series stands out in the modern sports world respecting unique values like parity, equity, transparency, and honesty. The races have been chosen to highlight the most iconic events in the sport today.
It aims to promote professional trail runners as the world-class athletes that they are, to showcase and protect the awe-inspiring natural environments where we play and compete, and to acknowledge the amazing, passionate fans as an essential ingredient in the sport. Each of the six races in the series has been specifically selected for the scenery, the challenge, the history, and the atmosphere that they offer to both the runners and to the public. These are the races that every runner wants to experience and some of the first written on any runner’s bucket list.
The Danube-Ipoly National Park was founded in 1997.
The Danube-Ipoly National Park’s area covers the Pilis, Visegrád, and Börzsöny Hills, a part of the Ipoly Valley between Hont and Balassagyarmat, and some areas of Szentendre Island. The diversity of the area is unique in Hungary due to the fact that it is a meeting point of rivers, hills, and plain.
The most important duty of the Directorate is the planning and execution of maintenance of the protected areas, organisation of research, and asset management. In addition, the basic objective is the conservation of the landscape’s emblematic image, intactness, undisturbed wildlife tranquillity, richness in species, and purity of waters; the protection of forests, soil, and other renewable resources; preservation of cultural values.
An important research activity is the continuous monitoring of wildlife, which means a long-term observation of certain features of the selected habitats and associations. Based on the data gained from these observations, changes in the condition of nature can be followed.
For the preservation of natural values, it is essential to inform the population extensively, to widen people’s knowledge, and to enhance commitment towards nature conservation. Therefore, visitors are welcome in the entire operational area of the Directorate throughout the year with diverse programs: we organise events and guided tours on our nature trails, and operate demonstration sites. Beside our twelve nature trails, the Forest School of Királyrét in Börzsöny, the “Pilis Len” Visitor Centre, the “Kökörcsin” Forest School in Esztergom, and the “Pálfája” Educational Centre in Nagykőrös offer popular programs as well. Beside caves reconstructed for tourists, participation in so-called “jumpsuit” tours in non-reconstructed caves is also possible. There is a lookout and a trail with interactive exhibitions and a panoramic terrace operating in the Visitor Centre of Sas Hill in Buda; in Jókai Garden, in Buda, under the huge trees of the park, we displayed information boards demonstrating Jókai’s age and the natural values of the garden, the instruments of the bird-friendly garden, and Hungary’s rocks; we guide tours with rented bicycles and canoes on Szentendre Island; and we offer ethnographic and nature value related craft and field programs in the historic buildings of the House of Regional Traditions in Ócsa. It is worth visiting the 40-hectare English Garden of the Arboretum of Alcsút all year round, but it is especially nice from mid-February to March, when it is covered by snowdrop fields. The Dinnyés Morass also worth a visit because, particularly during autumnal bird migrations, huge flocks of teal birds and thousands of wild geese can be observed.
Diósjenő is a village in Nógrád county, Hungary. It is surrounded by hills.
History.
The village was first mentioned in 1282. Its name comes from Jenő, the name of one of the seven tribes conquering present-day Hungary, while the word “diós” refers to walnut trees. The Hussites built a castle in the village. After the Ottoman era, in 1720 30 houses stood in the village.
