Leaving Érd-Ófalu, the trail climbs onto the loess plateau above the Danube. At Százhalombatta, burial mounds rise across the landscape; one is accessible at the archaeological park, and finds from the site are exhibited in the Matrica Museum. The nearby bridge over the Benta stream and the stunning church of St Stephen stand in the modern town below.
Turning away from the Danube, the route crosses open farmland toward Martonvásár. Here stands the Brunszvik Castle, often visited by Beethoven, surrounded by a landscaped park, and the former kindergarten museum established in one of its buildings.
The stage ends at Tordas, where Sajnovics Castle stands idle.
