Selected alternatives for you
    The shortest distance of the route is a pleasant little walk, an excursion around the immediate vicinity of Kőszeg, a bit of sightseeing over the town, stretching, and recharging. We warmly recommend it also with small children, but it can be a suitable program for older people or beginners too. At several places, excellent panoramas await the starters, including the newly built lookout point next to the Trianon Cross!
