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.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
