Hiking activities in Hungary

   • Badacsony, Hungary

   The flat-topped forested massif overlooking the lake is just the place to escape the tipsy herds. If you'd like to get a running start on your hike, catch one of the open 4WDs marked 'Badacsony-hegyi járat'.

3. Hiking

   • Aggtelek, Hungary
   • Activities › Hiking

   You can join up with some excellent hiking trails above the Tourinform office in Aggtelek, affording superb views of the rolling hills and valleys. A relatively easy three-hour (7km) walk along the Baradla Trail, tagged yellow, will take you from Aggtelek to Jósvafő. There are other treks lasting five to six hours, and these can be used for cycling and horse riding. A 20km bicycle route links Aggtelek and Szögliget to the northeast, but unfortunately you'll have to bring your own bike.
