After five kilometers, we reach the Skanzen, that is, the Vasi Museum Village. From there, we head towards the Boating Lake: between the two lakes in front of the restaurant, we exit to Árpád Street. Along the way, we take a small detour to the island, from where it is worth looking around in all directions. Climbing up to the Memorial hill, we can enjoy a splendid view, then comes Ice Cellar Street. Here we turn back via Whistle Street to the Oladi lookout, and return to the finish along a pleasant path.
