Is it possible to hike up to the highest peak of Hungary from Budapest in one day? Surprisingly yes!
We start from Budapest, take a long bus ride till Mátraháza. From Mátraháza we take a longer uphill walk through beautiful beech forests to reach Kékes, the highest peak. At the top there is a super high telecommunication tower with a panorama terrace to make this experience even more outstanding. We start descending from the peak, and on our way we will visit several other lookout points with stunning views to the north. We continue until we reach the old ruins of a small fort with a beautiful landscape back to the Mátra mountains and to the plains in the south. At the end we take a bus from a small village back to Budapest

5.00I had an amazing time on this guided hiking tour! Laszlo was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the area — you could tell straight away that he’s an experienced guide with a real passion for hiking. The 4-hour trek flew by thanks to his engaging commentary and the breathtaking scenery along the way. The route offered stunning views and the peaceful sounds of nature made it all the more enjoyable. I would absolutely do this experience again and highly recommend it to anyone who loves the outdoors!

5.00The tour was incredible! We saw so many views of Hungary from a completely different angle, it really makes you see another side to the country. The tour guide Laszlo was also amazing, so informative and took a good steady pace, his story telling was very impelling and kept it fun the entire time, I would highly recommend Laszlo and his tour!
Enjoyable hike.
