The highest point in Hungary is very easy to tick off as you can drive to the top. There’s a lot of hiking options around but Timea and I were on a driving tour of the north and east of the country and decided to do it as a drive-by. The summit is marked by a stone painted in the colours of the Hungarian flag.
