Selected alternatives for you
    The second longest section of the route does not miss the peak of Transdanubia, the Írott-kő lookout. It also takes you to the charming villages of Hegyalja: the sights of Cák, Velem, and Bozsok are also on the way. And the fresh spring nature: mountains and valleys, great panoramas, beautiful forests - and the magnificent paths of the Kőszeg Mountains.

    After the Bechtold Center and Pogány Valley, the picturesque cellar row of Cák welcomes you. Passing through Velem, we head to Bozsok, where after a refreshment we tackle the peak of Transdanubia: after Kalapos Rocks and Holler Cave, we can enjoy the scenery from the Írott-kő lookout. Leaving Hörmann Spring behind, the beautiful panorama accompanies us on both sides along Kendig Ridge. After the Red Cross, the Old House lookout invites another stop. Through Treasure Rest, we descend into the atmospheric King Valley, to then admire the town from Suleiman Lookout before reaching the finish.

    Author’s recommendation

    • There is a relatively significant altitude difference and some steep climbs, this distance is only recommended for experienced, trained hikers!
    • Between Bozsok and Írott-kő, the route follows the South Transdanubian Blue Trail K marking all the way, so a whole section can be completed.

    • Carry border crossing documents! The route leads along the Austrian border several times, and twice (even if only to a small extent) you need to cross into Austria.
    • It is advisable to take precautions against ticks!
    • Descend carefully down the stairs after Suleiman Lookout (especially if wet and slippery)!
