Map
Last year, during the Ördögkatlan, we planted the half-millionth tree of the 10 Million Trees initiative near the Chapel of Reconciliation. This year, we are returning to Beremend: to play in the mud, to water, to dance for rain, to chat, to watch movies in the barn, to present books, and to think about trees, water, shade, and a more livable world.
We welcome you to Beremend, at the Lion House, across from the Blacksmith Workshop, in the Green Cauldron, together with the Jane Goodall Institute, the Bird Conservation Association Baranya County Group, and the My Life in Africa Foundation.
We will have:
🌱 a mud playhouse every morning, where little humans can educate tree saplings,
💧 a rain dance and watering in the Cauldron Grove in the sculpture park, with cold MONYO drinks,
💦 discussions and presentations on urban and home water retention,
🐒 programs, booths, games, and quizzes from the Jane Goodall Institute and MME,
📚 a mini-exhibition and book fair featuring Márton Kállai: Methuselahs,
📖 book presentation by Iván András Bojár: The Flood of the Tisza,
🌳 Miyawaki mini-forest day on Thursday,
🎬 barn cinema with green films about water, landscapes, and living systems.
♻️ Bring it back, we will accept it!
At the Green Cauldron, we collect 50 HUF refundable bottles and cans. At the end of the festival, the total will be donated to the work of 10 Million Trees.

THE WATER RESTRICTION MEANS THE IRRIGATION OF KATLAN-LIGET IS CANCELLED!!!
An intense heatwave and drought have hit us hard, which you may have felt during the festival, for example, with cold beers helping to survive. However, the young trees cannot pop open a MONYO, they need assistance.
Unfortunately, during Ördögkatlan, the irrigation of Katlan-liget will not take place, but we must pray even more fervently for rain!
However, we will hold the musical, drought-fighting rain dance in Katlan Courtyard on Wednesday and Friday.
Come dance with us; thanks to MONYO, we will be waiting with cold non-alcoholic drinks.
