The Adventures into the Forest of Fejertelep-Susara

Adventures happen unexpectedly. It is unplanned and it is just happen. Sometimes, it was so tiring but it’s fun and worth to remember.  In our three weeks here in Serbia, we have visited most of the major towns and cities. One of the furthest of all was the town of Susara. It's pretty much colder there because of its forest – man-made forest.

This place was used to be a desert (sandy and no plants 100 years ago).  The local people had started to plant trees and grass to protect the good soil during sand storm. As the result, they are now enjoying the firewood from the forest and beautiful place.

For our two nights and three days stay here in Fejertelep-Susara, we really enjoyed the fresh air and the green place; which are really pleasing to the eye. When you are on the top of the hills, it is really breathtaking and very cold up there. A piece of advice, don’t ever forget to bring your jacket.

On our first day, Katalin and her mom accompanied us to see the first pine tree forest. Along the way, we saw the flocks of sheep with their shepherd. We discovered how food chain works here specially the bugs, which eat manure from the sheep. Then, we came there to see their cemetery and went around the town by her car.

The second day was so exciting because I need to ride the bike to go to the next forest to see the Hungarian breed cows that have long horns. The journey in going there was the challenging part because the sandy road way to that is in slope - going up and down. On the other side of the road heading to the forest was in mud, so we need to walk going there to see the wild boar.

When we were about to go home, I went ahead of them, so I could keep up because I knew I was too slow in riding bike. Unfortunately, I was lost and I was sure I went the wrong way, so I went back and found the Fejertelep-Susara road, finally. Then, I felt safe that I was heading back home and I saw Tibor was heading back to search for me.

In the afternoon, Tibor’s uncle, Anthony guided us in going around the hills and we were amazed about the beautiful sight of its nature and listening to the busy bees making honey in the small bee farm nearby.

On the third day, we did the mushroom hunting. We went back to the hills where we went the other day. We picked like four mushrooms that were good for our snacks before we went home. Then, we met the shepherd who was guiding his cows with his guard dogs. The scary part was these dogs were about to attack us. I would remember not to separate from the group and don’t show any signs of fear. Then, we have chance to talk with him.

Thus, we knew we have short time to stay and soon we would go back home in Debeljaca. Therefore, we have to enjoy every moment that has left here. My husband and I went to top hill to make our honeymoon memorable. We brought with us our sleeping bags. At last, we played football and walk around the nature with Bella, Andrea, her mom Katalin and my husband, Tibor.

Our three days are full of fun and excitement. We know that we have a lot of memories to remember by when we will be back home. Thanks to our uncle Anthony (Antibatya) and his family specially Katalin and Bella for always guiding us in going around Susara and being part of our FOREST ADVENTURE.
