Access to the starting point:
Od Budimpešte se zapeljemo na vzhod po avtocesti proti mestu Nyiregyhaza. Po približno 90 kilometrih zapustimo avtocesto na izvozu Gyöngyös/Matrafüred. Nadaljujemo v mesto Gyöngyös, nato pa na označenem križišču nadaljujemo proti severu v smeri kraja Matrafüred. Ko prispemo v omenjeni kraj zavijemo levo v prvo ulico (Beke ut), kjer parkiramo.
Path description:
The route starts at the main crossroads in Matrafüred, where there is also a sports and mountaineering base (Hegyes sportok bazisa) and a bus stop (Palyaudvar). Go downhill and you will see the first markings at the electricity pylon. The path leading to our destination is marked with a blue triangle.
The trail continues along the asphalt road, which follows the Somor stream. After 100 metres, the green and red trails branch off to the left, and we continue straight ahead, walking on the asphalt for about 5 minutes, before moving on to a steeper path. When the slope ends, our path turns right downhill (straight ahead is the path marked with a blue cross).
The path follows the slope to a small bridge over the Csatorna stream. Cross the stream and you are back on the asphalt road, which you quickly leave and continue to the right, then at the next crossroads to the left (the crossroads are well marked).
The path ahead leads into the forest and passes a watercourse and a concrete barrier on the Csatorna stream, which we will also cross. After crossing, there will be a slight climb for a while, and the stream will be on your right the whole time. There are numerous crossroads along the way, which are well marked, so orientation is not a problem. The path along the stream is quite interesting because we are constantly accompanied by the babbling of the brook.
After about an hour's walk along the stream, our path with cart track branches off to the right steeply up the slope. From here the path will become quite steep and the ground will be rockier and slippery. There will be a few short gentle sections along the way.
At the end of the slope, the path will take the first sharp left turn back to the south, then a sharp right turn back to the north. Here the slope will finally give way. The paths marked Blue Cross and Mary's Way will join from the left. Continue 3 times crossing the asphalt road leading to the summit (and in the part of the way between the crossings, the path takes you past the water reservoir and the Javoros spring). When you reach the parking lot at a higher altitude, you will see a ski slope and several buildings ahead. Continue along the asphalt road, which takes you almost to the top. A minute below the summit, leave the asphalt and walk along a forest path to the highest peak in Hungary (Kekes / Kékestető).
There is a sculpture at the top and a ski slope around the top. As the summit is mostly forested, we have a beautiful view to the south-west, where we can see Bidimpest and Galya Peak, the second highest peak in Hungary. To the north-west you can see the Karancs and the view towards Slovakia.
