By Car
 The
Ágasvár Tourist House is located on the Western
ridges of Mátra on the clearing below the 789 m high peak of
Ágasvár. The house itself cannot be reached by
car, the roads are closed by the Bükk National Park. We
recommend you to park your car at Mátrakeresztes or
Mátraszentistván, and then follow the marked
footpaths.
 Coming
from Budapest, leave the road 21 at Pásztó and
then follow the signs towards Galyatetõ. The next village after Hasznos
is Mátrakeresztes. But you can go on further to get to
Mátraszentistván.
From
Gyöngyös, on the road going through
Mátraháza and Galyatetõ you can reach
Mátraszentistván.

On
foothpath
 From Mátrakeresztes
the red sign takes to the Tourist House. It goes along the valley
of Csörgõ, passes next to the Vándor
spring and then rises steeply up to the Tourist House. It is
approximately four kilometers long and it takes one-one and a half hour
to reach the House.
 If you set off from Mátraszentistván
then after a one hour long walk on the blue pathway you arrive to the
Tourist House. Probably this is the easiest route to get to the house
because there is only a little height difference on the way. If you
would like to make it a little bit harder, you can leave the blue line
and change to the blue triangle. This sign takes you to the tip of
Ágasvár and then down very steeply to the Tourist
House.
