    We conquer three witness hills on the 20 km route of the Witness Hills challenge hike. First, we explore Badacsony, and while crossing the mountain plateau, we touch every important spot. As a warm-up, we climb the Bujdosók stairs, then the numerous points offering beautiful panoramas compensate us: the Ranolder Cross, the Egry József and Páholykő lookout points, and of course the Kisfaludy lookout. We gather strength in a winery, then first climb up to the top of Tóti Hill and then Gulács. From here, we return to our starting point along the northern flank of Badacsony.
