2025-10-4 Nagybörzsöny - Deutschpilsen - Beršen

A half‑day October visit to Nagybörzsöny — Deutschpilsen — Beršen, the same village known by three names, feels like stepping into a pocket of the Börzsöny where time moves gently. The air carries that cool, woodsmoke‑and‑leaf‑mould scent of early autumn, and the hills around the village glow with muted golds and browns. Narrow streets wind between wooden houses and gardens already settling into the season, while the little forest train rattles through the trees with a nostalgic charm, its carriages weaving between slopes and streams as if showing off the quiet beauty of the valley. Even in just a few hours, the place offers a rare kind of calm — a small village wrapped in autumn colours, where the landscape and the rhythm of the forest railway make the world feel pleasantly far away.
