In the Wake of Legends

On this day we start our first trail-riding tour.We make a one-day tour to Pásztorbükk, a place where prince-bishop Báthory Endre was captured and killed. During our tour we learn about the historical significance of this place and about its legends. After that we visit a sheepfold where we can taste cheese and orda (a sort of whey cheese).
In the afternoon we visit the local museum and we present the national costume and some local traditions of the people living in this village.

We begin our 4-days adventure tour.
We saddle up the horses,we pack in our saddle bags and we ride up to the peak of Naskalat, to the Kondra cross (1553m), this is the runaway route of the 32 border hunter batallion.
You will have the possibility to learn about the history of this batallion. Accomodation is in Gálkút valley, in a hostel.

From Gálkút valley we climb to the Tarkö mountain(1460m) from where we make a bypass to Öcsém (1708), then through a devious valley we descend to a village in Gymes named Háromkút. We get the accomodation at a local family, later we visit a warm water-spring at the feet of the Nagyhagymás mountain.

We arrive to a more difficult section, namely, we have to get on the top of the Nagyhagymás mountain which is up at 1792m high.We go along this chalk cliff-ridge on horse till we reach the Egyeskő (Lonely Rock)1608m where we take a rest, then we descend to our accomodation in a forest house. During this tour you will hear about the legend of the Ördögmalom which can be found in the Nagyhagymás mountain.
