Tatabanya - Turul Emlekmű

Access to the starting point:
On the Hungarian side, cross the Pince/Tornyszentmiklos crossing and head towards Budapest. When you reach the Budapest suburb of Törökbalint, turn towards Györ at the fork. Drive for another 50 kilometres to the Tatabanya Ovaros exit, where you leave the motorway. In the town, we drive to a roundabout where we turn north-west and drive all the way to the new part of the town of Ujvaros (Tatabanya is very reminiscent of Velenje). When we get to the railway station (Vasutakallomas in Hungarian), we see the first signs. We park somewhere in the town.

Path description:
The route officially starts at the Tatabanya railway station, where you will also see the first signs. At first we are accompanied by white, blue, green and yellow circles, and there are also a few tourist signs for the Turul emlekmü monument. When we reach Almos Vezer Street, we will also see the markings in the form of a red line in a white square, which will accompany us further eastwards. Go up the stairs, then around the building and we are at a point where there seems to be no more path. We find the way on through the gate of the sound fence, after which we cross the busy road. Cross the road and go ahead, then under the motorway and on along the blue fence of the waterworks. The path starts climbing up the stairs and then you reach Szöloshegy ut.
Go right here and then immediately left onto the steps (straight ahead climbing routes Kata ut and Het Vezer). Climb the steps for about 15 minutes and during the climb a path branches off to the left towards the nearby cliffs. When you reach the top of the stairs, turn right and after a minute's further walking you will reach the eagle monument, which offers an outstanding view of the Tatabanya below, the town of Oroszlany and the Vertes mountain range.
The route described above is suitable for descending if you have climbed the Kata ut or Het Vezer ferrata to reach the monument.
