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.
