Arrival
Turul monument car park above Tatabánya.
Approach
Down the stairs, left along the asphalt past the starts of Kata út and Öt vezér út; the entry is signed.
The route
Eight sections named after the Magyar chieftains — Álmos, Előd, Ond, Kond, Tas, Huba, Töhötöm — linked by a series of rope bridges strung between the trees. The bridges are what make it: playful at first, then increasingly exposed as the route climbs. Mostly C-grade climbing with D-grade steps.
Exit
Top out on the plateau; ten minutes back to the car park.
Good to know
Allow 1–1.5 hours. The bridges are where a nervous climber slows the queue — go early at weekends.
warningSelf-guided route — climb at your own risk
This route is free and unsupervised. Apprenaline does not operate it, does not check it and cannot guarantee its condition. Via ferrata carries a real risk of serious injury or death: you need a UIAA-certified via ferrata set, a harness, a helmet and the experience to use them, and you should check the route builders' site for closures (routes in protected areas close for nesting seasons) and the weather before you go — wet rock and storms end a day out here. Guided, gear and photo options on this page are provided by independent operators under the normal booking terms and waiver.
