Scenic Forest Hike to Visegrád Along a Mountain Stream

Join us for a full-day hike through one of the most atmospheric routes to Visegrád — a peaceful forest trail following a mountain stream. This hike is especially beautiful in autumn and winter, with misty woods, flowing water, and quiet paths far from the crowds.
We start with a bus ride to Dobogókő, then hike mostly downhill through forests and valleys. The route includes a ravine crossing, a gradual ascent, and a small village about halfway through. After the village, the trail runs right along the stream. We will cross it several times by stepping on stones — a fun and memorable part of the hike.
Towards the end, we reach a small waterfall, a calm lake, and an open meadow — perfect spots to rest, enjoy the scenery, and take photos.
Distance: 17.8 km
