Why We Started This Guide
When we first planned a hiking trip to Hungary, we found plenty of generic travel advice but very little practical information about the trails themselves. Which campsites were actually worth the fee? Were the trail markings reliable? Could you reach trailheads by public transport?
We ended up learning everything the hard way, through weeks of hiking, occasional wrong turns, and plenty of conversations with local hikers and park staff. Hungary Trail Guide exists so that other outdoor enthusiasts don't have to repeat our mistakes.
Every trail description on this site comes from personal experience. We walk the routes ourselves, noting the conditions, the timing, and the small practical details that make the difference between a great day out and a frustrating one.
What We Cover
Our focus is on hiking trails and camping across Hungary. We're not a general travel guide; we don't review hotels or rank restaurants. Instead, we concentrate on the outdoor experience: trail conditions, campsite quality, transport logistics, and the kind of practical advice that helps you plan a trip with confidence.
We aim to cover all ten of Hungary's national parks over time, along with regional nature parks and notable hiking routes. Each guide is updated after our revisits, with dates clearly marked so you know how current the information is.
We link to official park websites and other authoritative sources wherever possible, because we believe good information should be traceable and verifiable.
