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.

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.
