Semester Ending Excursion to Wonder Garden and Boating Lake

When registering for the Spring Semester Welcome Day event, most international students voted for the traditional semester closing event with cooking on a campfire at Lake Salamandra near Sopron in early May. However, following control measures to fight Foot-and-Mouth disease (FMD) in Győr-Moson-Sopron county, we were not able to stick to this traditional event. We offered our students a one-day excursion to the Jeli Arboretum, also called Wonder Garden, and to Sárvár Boating Lake instead.

"The spring excursion was a wonderful way to end the semester. The weather was amazing, and we went to the best place to celebrate it: Jeli Arboretum. There were beautiful flowers, fresh air, and bamboo trees I saw for the first time. We were guided through the arboretum and afterward, ate delicious pancakes at the Boating Lake in Sárvár. We ended the day with a city tour and a visit to the castle. We connected with our international friends once more, we walked in nature, and we had a lot of fun. It was a beautiful spring day.

"As the weather gets warmer and the flowers start to blossom, I find myself spending more time outdoors, and when I found out about a school trip to a botanical garden and lake, I was delighted to attend. We started our trip at the Jeli Arboretum, a peaceful and pleasant botanical garden filled with a variety of different plants. I enjoyed the walk through the large forest and really liked the purple flowers spread throughout the park. The large bamboo rods were a memorable sight as it's quite unusual to see, especially in this region. Our tour guide described everything around us and even told the story of why pinecones have a sort of protective shell, which I did not know before. We followed up our lovely walk with delicious palacsintas by the lake. This delicious treat was my favorite part. I loved the sweet taste of the strawberry-flavored palacsinta topped with chocolate sauce and sprinkles. We ended our day with a delightful walk around the lake towards the city center. There was a nice square and a castle built long ago. I enjoyed the day, and I cannot wait to see where the university will bring us next!" (Charles Budman, Faculty of Economics)
