    The walk starts from Jurisics Castle like the other performance hike distances and is worth strolling even after completing a longer route. Many sights can be seen within these five kilometers – locals might even discover something new.

    After leaving the castle, the Old Tower (Zwinger) and Sacred Heart Church follow, then the beautiful Main Square. After the castle moat and the Castle Circuit, a long curve takes us to the surroundings of the Gyöngyös Creek among old buildings. After the magnificent park of EGYMI and the weir, we can admire the 500-year-old plane tree along the OKT and also pass by the impressive Reformed Church building. The synagogue and Evangelical Church area again show the old Kőszeg, so that among the beautiful buildings of Jurisics Square we return to the finish.

    Author’s recommendation

    Since there is plenty of time available (and no time limit), it's worth taking a good look around and "soaking in" the small town atmosphere. Excellent refreshment opportunities are also offered along the way.
