Overview

This half-day trip takes you by chairlift to the most popular forest of Budapesteans for strolling with stunning views from the highest point of City, named after Elizabeth the deservedly loved queen of the Hungarians (ggl-rated 4.8 by 5200)

You can taste a strudel from the legendary StrudelPlace!

Walk in this eternal forest with a series of enthralling viewpoints. The hike is easy, mostly downhill, back to the lower station of the chairliftr! We also visit the standing Rock of Fairies (ggl-rated 4.8 by 470).

This is a relatively new programme here, but I am said to be a friendly and knowledgeable guide with 20 years of experience, who had tens of thousands of guests from 57 countries (pic. no. 6).

In case of snow or ice we miss the Rock of Fairies and visit a small cave and the 800 years old ruins of a monastery of the most important monastic order of Hungary, even St. Paul's body was kept here for a few decades.
