Jurisics endurance hikes - 30 km
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.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
