**"Man meets woman**" is *Yang Liu*'s pictogram book about gender differences that she experienced and put into a funny form for everyone to laugh and talk about. We will start out from watching her pictures (laughing) and discussing what they mean, how true they are and how much do we see them play a role in the everydays. Besides the picture book we go further discussing differences between men and women: the male and female brains, their ways of experiencing life and each other and the struggles and funny sides of dealing with these differences. Own experiences, funny examples, questions, and opinions are very welcome in this jaunty discussion! We hope to bring the two genders a little closer to each other on a lightsome evening of laughter and...surprises? The event will be held at the **underground part of Élesztő.**

🇭🇺 Magyar nyelvű túraleírás lentebb. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Welcome to Gradient Hiking ∇, where every trail brings fresh air, beautiful landscapes, and a sense of direction. Join us to stay active, enjoy nature, and share the experience with a friendly community. Come hike with us for movement, connection, and time well spent outdoors. I'm inviting you on an adventure in the Visegrád Mountains, wading through ravines, reaching peaks with wide vistas overlooking the Danube Bend, descending steep rocky ridges. This route is definitely in my top 10 within Hungary. 📅 **Meeting Time and Place** 2026-06-28 09:02 AM, Sunday, at [Dömös Templom bus stop](https://maps.app.goo.gl/VdNiUaE3acKnt41w9) 🗺️ **The Hike** [Full track here](https://turistautak.openstreetmap.hu/mentettutv-1781544823posu), through Rám-szakadék, Dobogókő, Prédikálószék, and Vadálló-kövek. This hike is not for beginners. It's long with 19 km distance, 840 m elevation difference, 7 hours duration. The scorching summer heat, a heavy backpack, and steep rocky terrain will make for a real workout, though I think anyone who is in good shape, carries enough water, and loves nature can complete it. We won't rush, and we'll take frequent breaks. We'll make a stop halfway at Dobogókő for lunch, where food and water will be available. There is an alternative option for those who don't wish to complete the whole hike. You can exit and take the bus from Dobogókő to Pomáz, resulting in a route with parameters: 8 km, 600 m elevation, 3 hours. 🚍 **Transport** Via [bus 880](https://maps.app.goo.gl/tAcHS4h1tk1PhKxZ9) from Újpest-városkapu, platform 17, at 7:35. We aim to catch the same bus back to Újpest-városkapu at 17:40. Tickets are available in the [MÁVPlusz app](https://www.mavcsoport.hu/en) or a BKK Pest county pass is also valid on this section. This is a loop hike, so travel by car is possible. [Parking is paid in the town of Dömös](https://parking-hungary.hu/en/parking/domos), but free at the [ferry station](https://maps.app.goo.gl/1r4f8hkRSZ7i6cdS7). 🎒 **Bring** \- Lots and lots of water\. At least 2 L recommended\. We can refill our bottles at Dobogókő\. \- Snacks and essentials for a whole\-day outing\. \- Good hiking shoes\. \- Sporty\, light clothes\, for summer excercise\. \- Protection against the sun \(hat\, sunscreen\)\. A maximum of 15 people can attend. Let me know if you're joining. Please also let me know by Saturday if you need to cancel. See you in nature. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Üdv a Gradiens túraközösségében ∇, ahol minden ösvény friss levegőt, gyönyörű tájakat és egy kis irányérzetet kínál. Tarts velünk, ha szeretnél aktívan kikapcsolódni, élvezni a természetet, és mindezt egy barátságos közösségben megélni. Gyere túrázni velünk mozgásért, feltöltődésért és együtt töltött időért a szabadban. Kalandra hívlak a Visegrádi-hegységbe, ahol szakadékban mászunk, a Dunakanyarra néző csúcsokra érünk fel, és vad, sziklás gerincen ereszkedünk. Ez a 10 kedvenc magyarországi túrám egyike. 📅 **Találkozó** 2026-06-28 09:02, vasárnap, [Dömös, templom buszmegálló](https://maps.app.goo.gl/VdNiUaE3acKnt41w9). 🗺️ **A túra** [Útvonal:](https://turistautak.openstreetmap.hu/mentettutv-1781544823posu) Rám-szakadék, Dobogókő, Prédikálószék, Vadálló-kövek. Nem kezdőknek való túra. 19 km hosszú, 840 m szintkülönbség, 7 óra. A nyári hőség, vízzel teli hátizsák, és a meredek, sziklás terep nehezítésével egy rendes edzés lesz. Szerintem, aki sportos, van elég vize, és eléggé szereti a természetet, az meg tudja csinálni. Nem rohanunk, gyakran meg fogunk állni. Dobogókőn félúton ebédszünet lesz. Aki nem szeretné végigcsinálni a túrát, az kiszállhat Dobogókőnél, és buszozhat Pomáz felé. Így 8 km, 600 m emelkedés, 3 óra marad. 🚍 **Utazás** A [880-as busszal](https://maps.app.goo.gl/tAcHS4h1tk1PhKxZ9) Újpest-városkaputól, a 17. állásról, 7:35-kor. Visszafelé ugyanezt a buszt célozzuk meg 17:40-es érkezéssel Újpestre. Autóval is lehet jönni, mert körtúrát teszünk. [Dömösön fizetős a parkolás](https://parking-hungary.hu/hu/parkolas/domos), de a [hajóállomásnál](https://maps.app.goo.gl/1r4f8hkRSZ7i6cdS7) ingyenes. 🎒 **Hozz magaddal** \- Sok\-sok vizet\. Legalább 2 l ajánlott\. Dobogókőn a közkútnál van lehetőség újratölteni\. \- Ennivalót\. \- Jó túracipőt\. \- Sportos ruházatot a meleg időhöz\. \- Védelmet a nap ellen \(fejfedő\, naptej\)\. Legfeljebb 15 ember csatlakozhat. Kérlek, jelezd, ha tervezel jönni, vagy mondd le szombatig, ha mégsem jó. Irány a természet!
