Hungary is the country of inventors. After the mountainless highway tunnels here is the canopyless canopy walkway. Financed by the European Union. I bet those in Brussels did not expect this however.
It's built near a village on the steppes. The tender was contended in 2018 by a local entrepreneur who had a piece of woodland. In 2019 he became the mayor of the village, then in 2021 won the tender. 2022 he cut all the trees on his land. His defense: the tender did not say how high should be the trees - or if any trees are necessary -, plus he did it for he needed the money to build the walkway because Brussels was late to send the gibs.
From the photos I can see that the trees were planted in lines, it is a land specifically used in forestry for producing wood. He very well had known he'll cut the trees, when they are matured enough, although with these type of lands it is planned to reforest them. But why would anyone build such walkway in a place that has no "wild"/"natural" vegetation?
Btw yes, he belongs to the Fidesz. If it matters, like the other guys wouldn't pull such a hücpe/chutzpa.
