Yellow 15 endurance route (circular route)
One of the short distances of the Yellow 70, a long-standing endurance route, is the 15-kilometer circular route that leads through the Budaörs hills on a panoramic route.
The Yellow 15 endurance route can even be considered a family hike. Its main attraction is the panoramic Csíki Hills range, but the smaller, spring details of the landscape are also exciting. Before the route starting from Budaörs joins the S trail, it passes through Mária Valley and Farkas Hill, then reaches the namesake mark at Nagyszénászug belonging to Budakeszi. From there, it curves back with the scenic Sorrento rocks, returning to the panorama-opening ridge of the Budaörs kopárok, where besides the view you can also admire flowering meadows. If we are lucky, besides splendid plants (e.g., pasqueflower), we might spot a Pannonian lizard sunbathing on a stone or a praying mantis in the grass.
