Ágasvár Tourist Hut - Getting there

By car

Mátrakeresztes

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.

Direction: Ágasvár

From Mátrakeresztes the red sign takes to the Tourist House. It goes along the valley of Csörgő, 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.
