Hiking Tour to the Peak of Hungary

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 with a full view around to make this experience even more outstanding. We start descending from the peak, and on our way we will visit a little andesite cave and the ruins of a small medieval castle. After passing through Mátrafüred, we go up to the iconic Kozmáry-lookout, and enjoy a beautiful landscape back to the Mátra mountains and to the plains in the south. At the end we take a bus from Mátrafüred back to Budapest
