As the summer heat is slowly over and the season of grape harvesting is ushered in, we invite you for a charming September hike to the world-famous wine region of Tokaj!
Our main target this year is the spectacular mountain lake of Tarcal famous for its crystal clear water and peculiar location, nested in an abandoned mine pit.

HIKE:
Our 4-hour-long hike will start immediately with the famous mountain lake and the viewpoint over the village.
From Tarcal we will climb up to the top of the Tokaj hill (514 metres) which juts deep inside the Great Hungarian Plain, providing us with a stunning view.
Once conquering the summit we’ll descend to the town of Tokaj and take a look at some of its old monuments and wine cellars where you will have the chance to taste either the must (grape juice) or the famous Tokaj wine.
#YUMMYThe length of the hike: 9 km, 420 meters ascend and descend
