Selected alternatives for you

    On one of the longest distances of the Tanúhegyek challenge hike, you can get to know the Balaton Uplands very thoroughly. We will climb Badacsony, Tóti Hill, Kopasz Hill, Csobánc, Szent György Hill, and the hills of Szigliget one by one. Meanwhile, beautiful panoramas will encourage stops, and you will be amazed again and again. Besides the views, we will also encounter numerous cultural, historical, and geological curiosities, mentioning a few examples: the Salföld Pauline monastery ruins, the Csobánc castle ruins, the basalt organ pipes of Szent György Hill, or the Szigliget castle.
