Our Story

Passionate about helping you discover Hungary's natural beauty

Who We Are

Hungary Trails was born from a simple idea: to share our love for Hungarian outdoor spaces with the world. As avid hikers who have spent years exploring every corner of this beautiful country, we realized that many of Hungary's best trails remain unknown to international visitors.

Our team consists of experienced hikers, nature photographers, and local guides who have collectively walked thousands of kilometers across Hungarian trails. From the gentle hills around Lake Balaton to the challenging peaks of the Matra Mountains, we've been there and we're excited to share our knowledge with you.
