2.One Day Wonder Hiking Trip

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 87 · 8 hours (approx.) · from $168

Budapest one-day hiking trip from Dömös into Ipoly National Park with hotel pickup, snacks, water, and Danube Bend views.

“Beautiful hike! The views were absolutely stunning. I would say this hike was challenging; I’d rate it hard rather than moderate. So definitely come prepared: pack enough water, food (sandwiches, snacks) and anything you might need for the ~6 hour hike. Hiking shoes/boots are definitely recommended. Be prepared to get your heart rate up for the first half of the trail. The last part is downhill and serene. You’ll feel super accomplished when you complete the hike!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 85 · 8 hours · from $170

One day hike outside Budapest to the Danube Bend: steep climb, Predikaloszek summit views, Ram gorge ladders, plus Visegrád castle ticket.

“We loved every part of this activity day. Our guide Attila was very helpful and kept us well informed about our day, the route, safety and he clearly loved hiking and the nature all around us. We hardly saw anyone else all day. The views were terrific and we felt we were seeing places that fewer tourists get to see while not being far from Budapest. I would advise anyone with reasonable fitness to go on this hiking tour. You will not regret it, as it was the highlight of our Holiday. Attila also took some great photos.”

The walk is also suitable for kids and teenagers and for all fitness levels. I booked without lunch because it's not needed for the duration of the tour. Bring a water bottle because you can fill it up there. Lazlo has many more tours that can only be booked on his website. (of course without the 25% fee for this app). Find the organizer on Instagram if you need to get a first impression. I will book his other tours…”
