The 30 km distance of the Tanúhegyek endurance route holds no small challenge. Besides Badacsony, you need to conquer the two cone-shaped sibling hills, Tóti Hill and Gulács. We climb up to the Badacsony plateau via the Bujdosók steps, then visit the iconic points of the hill one by one: Ranolder Cross, Páholykő Lookout, Kisfaludy Lookout, Kőkapu. On Örsi Hill, we reach the ruins of the monastery built deep in the forest of the Paulines through the Folly Arboretum, famous for its fantastic pine collection. The peak of Tóti Hill entices with a true panoramic view, while Gulács offers the experience of a wild, exploratory path.
