*This event is organized primarily for foreigners.*We are going to bring you one of the most popular hiking track from last year – but this time with english narration!😊
We invite you to join us for a scenic daytime hike exploring the hidden gems of the Buda Hills.
One of the highlights of this journey is the Guckler Károly Nature Trail on Hármashatár-hegy. While it’s famous for its night lights, the daytime landscape offers a completely different, breathtaking perspective of Budapest and the surrounding mountains.
The Route:
We will start our journey at the Pál-völgyi Cave Visitor Centre. Our path first leads through Remete-hegy, eventually reaching the Kőtaraj (Stone Crest). This rocky outcrop nestled in the forest offers a spectacular vantage point over the city.
Joining the "Blue Trail" (Országos Kéktúra), we will climb to the 495-meter summit of Hármashatár-hegy. We certainly won't miss the Guckler Lookout Tower, which provides a stunning 360-degree panorama. Following the nature trail, we’ll head towards Fenyőgyöngye, and finally return to our starting point along Szépvölgyi út.
