The longer route shows the classic Gaja Valley to the participants. The hike starts and ends at the Károlyi Castle and passes the burial mounds, the Adam and Eve tree, crosses the Gaja Gorge, then follows Varjúvár and the Károlyi lookout. The route also takes in the Alba Regia spring, the Iron Cross - from which there is a very beautiful panorama - and descends to the Forest Lake. Those returning can meet Santa Claus in the park of the Károlyi Castle and will encounter cheerful Krampuses along the way.
During the hike, children both young and old can entertain themselves at the Vacakoló Vacok with recycled games and thought-provoking tasks made using natural materials. No one will leave the Vacok empty-handed!
