After Koszeg we felt we were getting into it. We were also aware of forecast rain. Rain was needed, if only to relieve the heat but cycling is nice without it. Anyway it was not raining yet and we set off.
The road was not excessively up and down, and after a while quite straight and level. And still no rain. We then got into some climbing into the village of Felsocsater (I bet I have spelled that wrong) where a border museum had been advertised. The museum was actually further on and up a big hill. The advantages of our ebikes were really coming out. We have seen a lot of border museums by now. This one had its own interest and gave more info about landmines. It seems there had been a definite death rate among border guards when they had to remove these. Also when a flood had washed away some mines, they were found later by children who touched them and were killed. This led to UN pressure on Russia and commands to remove certain mines. There was also an example of the modern fence against Serbia and Croatia, which we may see later. It is forbidding.
Then on. It came on to rain but we cycled on, passing between Hungary and Austria several times. We went to Kormend in Hungary for b&b. It was off-route but cheaper than places in Austria. At least the rain had stopped long before we got there
