Access to the starting point:
You arrive in Hungary via the Pince-Tornyszentmiklos border crossing. Continue on the motorway to Budapest, before which you turn in the direction of Györ. Leave the motorway at the Herceghalom/Zsambek exit and continue to Dorog. Just before the town, at the crossroads, turn towards Esztergom. In Esztergom, head east along the Danube towards Visegrad. When we arrive in Dömös, we park in the parking lot, which is located slightly above the church. The parking lot is not very visible from the main road. The parking fee is 1000 forints (as of 2019).
Path description:
From the church parking lot, continue south into the gorge along Kiralykut utca. For the first 100 m we follow the red signs, and after the first crossroads, where the path from the railway station joins, other paths and signs join us. Soon we leave the village and the asphalt and cross a small bridge into the forest. We continue up a winding path which leads us past the Vizbanya spring and the Szentfa Kapolna chapel.
After the chapel, you reach an abandoned building and a crossroads, where you turn right.
Cross the Malompatak stream and the road and you will come to a path which climbs gently at first and then steeply. Several streams are crossed, and after a sharp bend the path turns right to the east. The steepest part of the path is then followed, after which the path levels off and leads to the area called Rám Szakadék. There is some more climbing and we reach a crossroads where the difficult path joins. A little further on, we reach another crossroads, where the path from the Malompatak Gorge joins us, and the path from the village of Pilismarot joins us on the right.
We continue to an asphalt road, which we quickly leave. There is a long climb through lane of low forest and scrub, and higher up we cross another forest road and arrive a little higher on the ridge of Dobogo Kő mountain. The trail ahead turns slightly to the right and leads to a crossroads where the trail from Esztergom joins.
The trail continues along a wooded ridge, and higher up we reach the Rezső kilató lookout point. From here, it is about a 10-minute walk to the top of Dobogó Kő, where you will have a beautiful view to the north and east.
There are TV transmitters, a museum of Hungarian tourism and a few restaurants at the top.
