We start from the hills of Écs with their deep ravines and head toward the Bakony. During the course of this tour we will have plenty of opportunity to become acquainted with the towns and villages on our way and to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

We all know some legends, stories of miraculous or simply noteworthy deeds of saints or famous people. Who has not heard stories of the justice of King Matthias or the myth of Saint Elizabeth of the Árpád Dynasty? Discover tall tales and notable legends and the places that bear their memories throughout the points of this tour. And decide for yourself whether fairies existed among us, if bread can indeed turn to stone or whether the iron rooster may crow.

Have you ever wondered how the gold seekers extracted gold dust from the water of the Danube? Would you like to know who the ‘burcsellás’ (boatmen) were?

Learn more about the forgotten professions!
