Cycling and spas in Hungarian plains Hungary cycle tour: Vienna to Balaton |
The following pictures were taken while we were cycling from Győr, on the Danube between Vienna and Budapest, to the west, then via the low hills near the Austrian border down south towards Heviz and finally past the volcanic hills on the north shore of Lake Balaton to Balatonfüred . Sept 2007.

3. Wild pink flowers in the woods along the Danube |
4. Tiny wild white flowers in the woods along the Danube |
5. The best wild flower seen on out cycle tour of western Hungary. |
I have identified #6 flower from your cycling in Hungary trip. It is in the same family as the touch-me-mot or jewelweed. Impatiens glandulifera Balsaminaceae. Please pass this on to any others that were trying to rack their brains. Sept 2011: Hi Eric! All the orchids are monocotyledonous. That flowers never have such leaves |
7. A flower bed in one of the villages. |
8. Frog on the lakeside of the Neusidler See, Hungary. |
9 |
10. Sunflower, as per the millions grown in the fields. |
11. Jimpsom Weed, not sure of spelling or another nick name Jamestown Weed. It is hallucinogenic but smells very nice and blooms at night. Originally thought to be moonflower because of the night blooming until finding it in an herb book. |
12. Unusual flowers growing on rare rock made up gravel "field of stones" embedded in a matrix of silicate magma. |
Please if anyone can identify these wild flowers please say what it the correct botanical flower name against the twelve numbers above and email to me at eric@satsig.net
