Access to starting point:
From Budapest, we drive east on the motorway towards the town of Nyiregyhaza. After approximately 90 kilometers, we leave the motorway at the Gyoengyoes, Matrafured exit. We continue to the town of Gyoengyoes, then at the marked intersection continue north towards the place Matrafuered, from there further to the pass Matrahaza and to the northern side until we reach the town of Parad. Here we will notice signs for the village Paradohuta. In Paradohuta, we follow the signs to the spring Klarissza Csevice. At the starting point there are approximately 5 parking spaces.
Route description:
From the spring Klarissza Csevice we go uphill on roots. The path is initially steep but soon flattens. Further on we arrive at a junction where we go right towards Pisztrangos To.
The path we are walking is further marked with a red cross.
A winding, only occasionally somewhat steeper ascent follows on a path that is occasionally more muddy, passing through an interesting belt of mixed forest.
For some time we walk along the fence, then go slightly right and reach a narrower asphalt road. We continue left (poorly marked) a little further again on the hiking path which becomes steeper and steeper, but when we reach the asphalt road again we follow it right and after a few minutes arrive at Pisztrangos To. This is a place to rest, because from here the path becomes steeper. Here we leave the red cross markings (red cross markings lead to Matrahaza) and continue on the path marked with a blue cross.
The path becomes steeper, the ground more rocky. The path further takes us to the junction Gabi Hallala (whether it is really a cemetery, I don't know). From here we continue ahead, the path is level for some time, then becomes very steep. Higher we arrive at the pass Sötet Lapi Nyereg, where a few more paths from surrounding places join us.
We continue right on the steeper path, after 10 minutes we reach the first buildings before the summit. A few more minutes of walking follow and we arrive at the monument on the summit.
