What To Expect
Trying to escape the concrete jungle of the busy city? Get ready to enjoy a unique daily hike in calm forests on the hills of Buda around the city. During a few hours walk in the beautiful nature, you are going to have breathtaking views on Budapest and hear interesting stories that you wouldn't find in any guide book. I will take you to all the secret spots and lead you on off-the-beaten-path trails, which are not even known by most of the locals either. During the hike I will teach you how to read trail markers so you can't get lost, even if you are alone without a map or GPS. I am a nature fan, I will also show you the little miracles of the woods. As I grew up here, you will have the chance to talk with me about life in Hungary, and there are no taboos in this conversation. Join me and receive your surprise after the hike, a little gift for completing the hiking tour. It is going to be a real refreshment after the crowded, noisy city, nature is going to fill you up with energy! :)

Wonderful hike in the buda snowy hills

5.00Fantastic snow hike, which was the right level of challenge and we thoroughly enjoyed as a couple. Laszlo was a great host, sharing lots of interesting stories along the way and adjusting the pace just right for us. We even had a go on a small sled down a ski slope!

5.00Laszlo was such a wonderful tour guide, so knowledgeable and friendly. He shared a lot of Hungarian history and we weren’t rushed at all. I was exceptionally lucky with the day that I picked my hike as the snow was plentiful. But even without the snow this would have been awesome, some incredible views. I highly recommend this hike tour! 😊
You have to try this hike.

5.00Laszko, our tour guide, shared hidden stories behind the forests we traveled through. The tour helped us appreciate the natural scenery of Budapest. Laszko was patient with our changing schedule and headcount! Thank you so much!

5.00This hike with Laszlo was definitely one of the highlights from my trip to Budapest and I have recommended it to literally anyone I’ve told about my trip. He was so knowledgeable about the history of Budapest, the woods around us and advising of things I’d never have known otherwise. The viewpoints were beautiful and they felt like a real treat after the hike. From the start point I wasn’t sure if I’d make it to the lookout tower but we did it and Laszlo was patient, chatty and made sure we moved at a comfortable pace. Highly recommend this original excursion in Budapest- thank you Laszlo!
The highlight of my trip!

5.00This was such a fantastic experience whilst visiting Budapest. Laszlo was a great tour guide for our easy morning hike across the surrounding hills. It felt really personalised, walking whislt we chatted about all things nature, culture, history and life in general. The lookout tower provided an amazing and unrivalled view and being surrounding by forest was a refreshing break from the busy noise of the city. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see a different side of Budapest and I have not stopped talking about it since I returned home to the UK. Thank you Laszlo - I look forward to booking a future hike when I make it back over there! :)
Highlight at the Highest point of Budapest!

5.00My hike with Laszlo from Trails of Budapest was so much more than what I expected. He is so knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of Budapest and pointed out a slow worm that isn’t a worm at all, wild mushrooms, death watch beetle trails and so much more. When he pointed out where we would hike to I wondered if I’d manage but he was so encouraging and before I knew it I was at the highest point in Budapest! I have to say, it was the highlight of my trip!
Do not miss!

5.00The hike with Laszlo was the highlight of my time in Budapest! It was very special to escape the city and see the beautiful surrounding area that a visitor may not normally get to see while learning about the history of the city, the local flora and fauna along with the challenges faced and conservation efforts needed to keep this beauty for future generations. Laszlo clearly loves his job, and is full of stories and chat for the walk! I could not recommend joining him on a hike more! 10/10 recommend.
