Prédikálószék
A more challenging terrain awaits anyone who chooses Prédikálószék (‘The Preaching Chair’) as their destination. This 16-kilometre hike can be completed in about six to seven hours and is recommended for more experienced walkers. Strong hiking boots and plenty of water are a must, as there’s nowhere to drink on the way. The starting point is Dömös, which can be reached by Volánbusz from Újpest-Városkapu in 90 minutes. By car, you can leave your vehicle in the paid-for parking space at the junction of Kossuth Lajos út and Malom stream in Dömös. From the bus stop and the car park, aim for Királykúti út, where you can turn and head out of the village. Follow the signs that lead you to the Szentfa Chapel pilgrimage site, next to the peculiar-looking Vadálló rocks and offering a wonderful view. The 639-metre peak and 12-metre-high lookout tower of Prédikálószék are not far from here, and that commanding view of the Danube Bend, the Börzsöny hills, Visegrád Castle and, in the distance, Naszály Hill above Vác.
