Selected alternatives for you
    A mix of twenty and ten kilometer distances - containing the best sights of both routes in one. The area around Dozmat is already a great experience itself, after which we return to Szombathely's "Green Heart" through charming forests, and can explore it as well.

    Along thirty kilometers, a P lane leads all the way to Dozmat on pleasant roads, mostly along the Arany-patak. After the Krisztina lookout in Dozmat, comes the Muzsla spring (and the dam with the new reservoir). The enjoyable Golden Deer educational trail accompanies you back through a beautiful meadow, charming forest, and a steep climb to the Life Tree Park forest, then to the buffet and the Park forest.

    At the Olad arrival are additional extras: the Rose Hill lookout, the open-air museum (Vasi Museum Village), the Boating lake (and its island), then the Memorial. Finally, through the pleasant trail of Rigóvölgyi street we reach the finish.

    Author’s recommendation

    • A short detour of a few meters from the Muzsla spring to the dam is strongly recommended in Dozmat. The view of the new reservoir and the Kőszeg Mountains visible behind it is excellent.
