Author’s recommendation
- There is no natural water source along the route, so be sure to bring water, even in winter.
- After the Calvary, try out the famous Tihany echo at Echo Hill – it works better in winter!
- With children, it's definitely worth visiting the Lavender House near the start/finish location!
- After the route, it's worth returning to the nearby abbey and strolling along the Pisky promenade. As a bonus, you can drop by the Rege confectionery next to the abbey, open on winter weekends.
