FOREWORD

Summer is here

"Young is the one who has no idea,
that the good old days are now".
(György Timár)

It was a phrase that I, as a 20-year-old with an eager and rebellious spirit, felt very much a part of me.

As the years went by, I constantly reassessed the concept of youth. If one is able to reinvent oneself and thus constantly renew oneself, one may never grow old. At least not in there...

During my university years, there was a place in Târgu Mures where I often went to think, to be by myself. Somostető: a beautiful wooded area with an excellent view of the whole city, a thin, shining ribbon of the Maros seen from here.

In the early summer, the scent of linden trees was everywhere, I often just sat there, smelling the linden blossom and the warmth of the sun on my face. Summer is the time of year when I always felt incredible energy, and I was just recharging and recharging during all the active activities, so I always looked forward to summer.

But perhaps never more so than this year... with so much hope: to end the pandemic's grip on us, and with so many plans on my bucket list during the months of confinement.

Summer is here, the masks are off, and I urge all readers to throw themselves wholeheartedly and wholeheartedly into the mass of wonderful and colourful recreational opportunities that summer offers.

Here's this magazine to help you plan! It is a great guide for both mental and physical recreation.

Summer is here... I can smell the linden trees... the sun warming my face... and I'm doing my best to make this summer as colourful as possible with memories of the "good old days", because one day I'd love to tell my grandchildren so many stories.

Go summer!

Go Recreation!

The good old days are now... Rekire auf!
