Ipoly Erdő Forestry J.S.C.

FORESTRIES IN THE BÖRZSÖNY MOUNTAINS:

Diósjenő, Kemence, Királyrét

Nr. of the hunting field: 34

This 21,000 ha area is in one of the most beautiful landscapes in the mountains of Hungary. North of Budapest in the Börzsöny Mountains, at an altitude of 600-800 m above sea level. Most of the hunting area is in the Börzsöny National Park. This is the largest forest area in Hungary with lookout points with wonderful views on the landscape.
The ground is mountainous, in parts difficult to walk and covered with 99% forest. This is a forest area with a good population of red deer. The biotope suits the moufflon which was brought in to the area during the last century. Likewise the wild boar population. This is an excellent area for combination hunts, where small stags, hinds and wild boars can be hunted. The antlers of the red deer stags and the roebuck are, due to the mountainous terrain, not of good quality, the red deer antlers weigh approximately 4-5kg. Generally speaking: the red deer trophies are long but light, because the beams are cavernous.

Accommodation:

• Királyháza Hunting Lodge 1st class, 8 double rooms (Kemence Forestry)
• Nagyyoroszi Hunting Lodge 1st class, 8 double rooms (Diósjenö Forestry)
• Tóvik Hunting Lodge 1st class, 7 double rooms (Királyrét Forestry)
