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 **Elevation:** +210 m / −795 m **Difficulty:** Moderate (good basic fitness required) *** ### Practical Information **Meeting point:** 08:20 at **Batthyány tér**, in the underground passage near the ticket offices, opposite the metro exit. **Return:** Around 17:00 by bus, or by ferry + train, depending on the group’s pace. **Tickets:** You will need: * a city public transport ticket * a suburban ticket to **Pomáz** All additional tickets will be purchased during the trip and paid in cash. Please avoid large banknotes, as drivers may not have change. If you have a **Pest County (county-wide) pass**, you will only need to pay for the ferry. *** ### What to Bring * At least 1 liter of water * A filling packed lunch * A thermos with hot tea (strongly recommended) * Comfortable hiking shoes and clothes suitable for mud * Windproof / waterproof jacket * Warm layers (it is colder in the mountains) * Cash for tickets *** 🌿 **Why join this hike?** A calm, scenic route with water, forest, and gentle adventure — ideal for nature lovers, mindful hiking, and meaningful conversations. A perfect way to disconnect from the city and spend a full day immersed in nature.

On a list of "My Favorite Things", few people would put a "break up" in their top ten. More often, these words evoke feelings of shame, embarrassment, poor choices, and bad or sad endings. Before the new and beautiful can be built, the old, broken, and unnecessary must be cleared away. This process can be painful, but it is good, needful, and can produce wonderful results when done wisely and well. How does one break free from anxiety, comparison, or shame? Christian Bevere points people to the freedom God desires for His children, as well as giving practical ideas on how to shed both unhealthy baggage and the lies that seek to leave us anchored to past failure. Drawing from the Bible, ***Break Up With What Broke You*** clearly shows that what Satan would seek to use for evil, God uses for good and to accomplish His purposes. Join us **Thursday, January 15, 2026, at 6:30 pm**, when we gather at **Panera Bread, 300 West Lane Avenue, Columbus, across from St. John Arena**. We'd love to see you there!
