Zalahaláp - Haláp hegy

Access to starting point:
From the Pomurska motorway, we take the Dolga vas exit, then continue driving towards Hungary. The road ahead leads us through the settlement of Redics, then we follow the signs for the town of Zalaegerszeg, from there we continue driving in the direction of Lake Balaton / Balaton, Heviz and Keszthely. When we arrive at Keszthely we turn onto the bypass and then follow the signs for Balatonfuered (there are roundabouts on the bypass). When at the end of Keszthely the road branches off towards Sopron, we continue to the east, but only 2 km, then turn right towards the village of Badacsonytördemic. We continue through the village (in the middle of the village the road is cobblestone) and drive to the settlement of Tapolca. In Tapolca we turn in the direction of Devecser and drive to the town of Zalahaláp. In the town we drive almost to the exit where we will see the cemetery. At the cemetery we turn right onto a worse road and drive uphill to the parking lot where we leave the vehicle.
We can also reach the town of Keszthely via the Pince-Nagykanizsa-Budapest motorway which we leave at the Balatonkeresztur exit and continue to the town. The motorway now comes within a kilometer of the town (status 2026).

Path description:
From the parking lot we go uphill past the ramp. We go left and after a minute we turn right and reach the first summit plateau.
We go further, the path then slightly descends to the second much larger summit plateau. We see the peak and go straight.
Before the summit part there is an open-air museum with stone sculptures.
We see the built stairs and handrails which take us to the top in another five minutes of walking. The stairs and handrails help a lot but this part is still somewhat demanding.
At the top we are rewarded with a nice view despite the relatively smaller height.
The path is quite slippery in the rain!
