Somlói Castle

A good place but maybe hard to reach. The parking what you found on the map is crowded. Usually 5-7 cars can park and the road is only one car wide. Maybe you have to reverse a lot on a very narrow road with trees and rocks so leave the car down near thr road. You have to walk a bit to reach the castle. After the a while it is really hard to walk up. It is really steep.

Spectacular view. Not an ordinary castle as it is not renovated and there is no service at all. It is a fairy ruin in the middle of the forest. The climb is not easy but if one goes on the asphalt road it is just steep.

Wonderful landscape. Magnificent fortress even in its ruins.

Nice hike and really great views from the top. We visited in late September and the atmosphere was very moody around the ruins. Very cool example of ‘charming ruins’ of a 14th Century hilltop fortress.

This was a very enjoyable hike. The signage to get there is a little weak and we made a couple of wrong turns before finding it. But, we had fun climbing on the ruins and taking pictures. We also enjoyed one of the most spectacular sunsets I have ever seen. We did the hike up from the church. It is moderately steep for maybe the first .75 kilometers, but fairly flat thereafter. I highly recommend a visit.
