In 2015, EFOL is going to take place in Hungary, in the settlement of Orfű situated in the heart of Mountain Mecsek, only 15 km from Pécs. The charm of the settle-ment lays mainly in its natural potentials. The three artificial lakes called Lake Orfű, Lake Pécs and Lake Ottó Hermann surrounded by mountains assure a per-fect location for the lovers of water sports, fishing, hunt-ing, horse-and bike riding and spelunking. Additionally bathing, an Aqua Park, tradition-keeping programs and music festivals make the experience of this beautiful settlement complete.
The city of Pécs with its special Mediterranean microcli-mate is only a 20 minutes drive by car. The more than 2000 years old city with its marks of several folk groups became the European capital of Culture in 2010.It is well known of its rich, sparkling cultural-technological life, its university, museums and monuments which are part of the UNESCO World Heritage. Its festivals, various open-air programs and the buzzing crowd on the streets of the city center provide a real Mediterranean feeling.
