Kékestető is a popular destination for hikers, offering stunning panoramic views and fresh, high-altitude air. It is part of the renowned Kéktúra route and has been officially recognized as a climatic health resort since 1963.
Adventurers can explore the breathtaking natural wonders of the country’s highest peak through both individual excursions and organized tours. The 180-meter-high TV tower on Kékes provides visitors with a magnificent view. An open viewing platform has been constructed above its closed circular base, allowing for an amazing panoramic experience. On clear days, visitors can even see the High Tatras!
The country’s highest point is marked by a national-colored stone located beneath the tower, serving as a landmark for hikers who reach Kékes. Taking photos here is almost a requirement.
Tourists can explore various circular hiking routes along the marked trails, ranging from smaller to larger paths. A must-see destination is the beautiful viewpoint from Erzsébet Rock, which features a wooden cross. Additionally, the Eagle Rock, which commemorates tourists who lost their lives in World War I, and the Trout Lake, home to the Petőfi Spring and Jávoros Spring, are also worth a visit.
The area is characterized by romantic, moss-covered stone formations. Kékestető is also a fantastic destination for families, featuring easy-to-navigate forest walks that include a lookout at the TV tower and a playground at Angels' Clearing - both enjoyable for children.
The Kékes spring and the opportunity to observe friendly squirrels create unforgettable experiences for nature lovers. In addition to summer and winter programs, families who wish to cycle will find suitable routes on the mountain. The location perfectly combines an ideal environment with exceptional culinary delights and the well-known Mátra wines.
