Selected alternatives for you
    On this easy to medium difficulty route, we also stop by one of the most well-known springs of Mátra. The water of the Rákóczi spring is not only clear but also tasty and healthy, so it's worth filling your water bottle. We also pass by Lake Sás and the Kozmáry lookout tower.
