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

Join an English-speaking guide such as Gyuri or Attila for an eight-hour hike from Budapest to Dömös, the Vadálló stones, Prédikálószék, and Rám Gorge. Expect steep climbs, about 18 to 21 kilometers of uneven trail, waterfall ladders, and fine Danube views.

“A wonderful and rewarding hiking experience, an opportunity to challenge yourselves by hiking 18km in 8hrs. Some paths are quite steep but the view during the journey is awesome. When we reached the top peak, the view towards the Danube Bend is the biggest reward. Guyri is really nice and thoughtful, he even helped one team member to carry her backpack when she is too tired. Highly recommend this tour!”
