Access to starting point:
We arrive in Hungary via the border crossing Pince-Tornyszentmiklos. We continue on the highway all the way to Budapest, before which we turn in the direction of Győr. We leave the highway at the exit Herceghalom/Zsámbék, and then we continue to the town Dorog. Just before the mentioned town we turn at the crossroad towards the settlement Esztergom. In Esztergom we go east along the River Danube in the direction of Visegrád. When we arrive in the village Dömös we park on a parking lot, which is situated a little above the church. The parking lot is not very well visible from the main road. The parking lot costs 1000 forints (as of 2019).
Path description:
From the parking lot at the church we continue south into the gorge along the street Kiralykut utca. The first 100 m are accompanied by red markers; after the first junction, where the path from the railway station joins, other paths and markers also join us. We soon leave the village and asphalt and go over a small bridge into the forest. We then ascend along a gentle path that leads us past the spring Vizbanya and the chapel Szentfa Kapolna.
Behind the chapel we arrive at an abandoned building and a junction, where we go right.
We cross the stream Malompatak and the road and arrive at a path which initially ascends gently, then more and more steeply. This is followed by crossing several streams; after a sharp bend the path turns right towards the east. The steepest part of the path follows, after which the path levels out and brings us to the area named Rám Szakadék. Some more ascent follows and we arrive at a junction where a demanding path joins us. A little further we arrive at the next junction, where the path from the Malompatak gorge also joins us, and from the right the path from the village Pilismarot joins us.
We continue to an asphalt road, which we quickly leave. A longer ascent follows through a belt of low forest and shrubbery; higher we cross another forest road and a little higher arrive at the ridge of the mountain Dobogó Kő. The path ahead turns slightly to the right and brings us to a junction, where the path from Esztergom also joins us.
The path ahead leads us along the forested ridge; higher we arrive at the viewpoint Rezső kilató. From there it is about 10 minutes' walk to the summit Dobogó Kő, from where a nice view opens towards the north and east.
At the summit there are TV transmitters, the museum of Hungarian tourism and some catering facilities.
