After the Crown Keeper bunker and the Boating Lake, we arrive at the border along the pleasant Stroll paths (accompanying the Gyöngyös stream). Along the Iron Curtain hiking trail, we can also see the Austrian St. Germain Cross. This leads us into the picturesque Seven Springs valley, from where, refreshed by the fresh water, we climb up to enjoy the splendid panorama from the Óház Lookout. Through the Treasure Rest, we descend into the charming King Valley, then from the Suleiman Lookout we admire the town again before reaching the finish.

Author’s recommendation
- In King Valley (already in the urban section) it is worth taking a detour of about 20-30 meters to view the remains of the five hundred year old chestnut tree.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
