Access to the starting point:
From Budapest, head east on the motorway towards Nyiregyhaza. After about 90 kilometres, we leave the motorway at the Gyoengyoes exit, Matrafured. Continue into Gyoengyoes, then at a marked crossroads continue north towards Matrafuered, and from there continue up the Matrahaza Pass and north until you reach the point of Parad. Here you will see signs for the village of Paradohuta. In Paradohuta, follow the signs for the Klarissza Csevice spring. There are about 5 parking places at the starting point.
Path description:
From the source of the Klarissza Csevice, follow the roots upwards. The path is steep at first, but soon levels off. Further on, you come to a crossroads, where you go left (red cross on the right). The trail takes an illogical turn northwards at first, but after a few bends it turns southwards. The path passes through lane of a compacted forest, and at a higher altitude it reaches a clearing.
At the end of the clearing, without a bridge, cross a stream and then come to a fence, which you go around on the left.
You will quickly reach a crossroads where you will go right along a path that runs along a strip of spruce forest. Higher up, the path leads to a small stream, then to a hunting lodge, where you cross the stream once more. On the other side of the stream you reach an asphalt road, which you follow to the right.
Walk along the road for two minutes, then signs direct you left onto a path that climbs through the forest. The path becomes cart track, which climbs steeply for some time. The slightly less well-marked path then leads to the Gabi Hallala crossroads (the yellow cross path leads on to the Matrahaza Pass).
From here we continue onwards, the path being level for a while, after which it becomes very steep. Higher up, we reach the Sötet Lapi Nyereg pass, where we join a few more paths from the surrounding area.
Continue to the right on the steeper path and after 10 minutes you will reach the first buildings in front of the summit. A few minutes more walking and you reach the monument at the top.
