*From Budapest via Hollókő, the Mátra and Eger into the Bükk, down into the Baradla Cave, through the Tokaj vineyards and across Lake Tisza into the puszta as far as Debrecen: around 875 kilometres among castle ruins, thermal pools and sweep wells.*

## The spirit of the route

North-east Hungary is a land of transitions. One moment you are rolling through the Cserhát hills, where whitewashed Palóc houses stand beneath a castle ruin in Hollókő; the next, the road climbs through beech forest to Kékestető, the highest point in the country. In Eger the evenings smell of cellar mould and barbecue smoke, in the Bükk water rushes over travertine steps, and beneath Aggtelek a world of dripstone opens up that reaches into Slovakia. Further east the rows of vines on the Tokaj slopes stretch across volcanic hills, at whose foot the Bodrog and the Tisza meet. At the end the land turns flat: from the open sliding door you look out across Lake Tisza and the Hortobágy to the horizon, grey cattle and sweep wells in the evening light, cranes in autumn. In between there are thermal baths in almost every town – after a day's driving, a warm pool is taken for granted here.

## Stage-by-stage plan

### Stage 1: Budapest to Gödöllő (via Visegrád and Vác) (approx. 100 km)

- **The drive:** Leave Budapest on Road 11 along the right bank of the Danube to Visegrád, take the car ferry there (vehicles up to 3.5 t only) across to Nagymaros and follow Road 12 along the left bank to Vác. From Vác take country roads via Vácrátót and Veresegyház to Gödöllő. Winding and busy at weekends as far as Visegrád, then quiet, gently rolling hill country. A good 2 hours of pure driving time plus waiting for the ferry; if you are heavier than 3.5 t or want to avoid the ferry, head back via the Megyeri híd and the M2/M0 and reach Gödöllő on the M3.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Short stop in Visegrád: the view from the ferry landing up to the upper castle and over the Danube loop – the Danube Bend with Visegrád and Esztergom is covered in detail in the CampingSpirit guide from the Danube Bend to Lake Balaton.
  - Vác: baroque main square, cathedral and the riverside promenade along the Danube, good for a lunch break.
  - Royal Palace of Gödöllő (Grassalkovich Palace), Empress Elisabeth's favourite residence, with its palace park.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** On the edge of Veresegyház, around 10 km from Gödöllő, is the thermal bath with campsite (Veresegyházi Termálfürdő és Kemping); ask in advance whether motorhomes are accepted, and about the season, electricity and service point. If you are starting in Budapest, spend the night before at Arena Camping in the east of the city – from there it is only 25 minutes to Gödöllő via the M0 and the M3.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Wild camping is prohibited in Hungary. The riverside meadows on the Danube Bend belong to the Duna-Ipoly National Park, and the car parks at Gödöllő Palace are day-use only. On this first day, stick to campsites.
- **Insider tip for campers:** The Visegrád–Nagymaros ferry only takes vehicles up to 3.5 t; check the timetable and operation in advance (Útinform), as it stops running at high or low water. In Gödöllő, leave the camper in the signposted parking areas at the palace and don't drive into the narrow residential streets. If you use the M3, you need the e-matrica from here on.

### Stage 2: Gödöllő to Mátrafüred (via Hollókő) (approx. 145 km)

- **The drive:** Take the M3 to Hatvan, then Road 21 north towards Salgótarján and finally narrow, winding minor roads through the Cserhát hills to Hollókő. Afterwards return to Road 21, continue via Pásztó and along the southern edge of the Mátra to Gyöngyös and up to Mátrafüred. Around 2.5 hours' driving; the access roads to Hollókő are narrow, so expect oncoming buses.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Hollókő Ófalu: the Palóc World Heritage village with whitewashed clay houses, wooden galleries and the little church with its wooden tower – the old village is closed to cars.
  - Hollókő Castle above the village, a short, steep footpath with views over the Cserhát hills.
  - Sástó near Mátrafüred: a small lake with a lookout tower, quiet in the evening.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Mátra Kemping Sástó lies by the lake above Mátrafüred in the forest, with electric hook-ups and sanitary facilities; check facilities, service point and opening times in advance. An alternative further east is the small Túra Kemping near Parád; check that it is operating in advance.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Hollókő has paid visitor car parks on the edge of the village; they are meant for parking, not camping – find out about overnight rules locally. Most of the Mátra is a protected landscape area; forest tracks and forestry car parks are not overnight spots.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Arrive early in Hollókő: coach groups turn up from late morning, and on festival days the village is packed. Fill up and shop in Gyöngyös before the Mátra – there are only a few shops up the mountain. A narrow-gauge railway (Mátravasút) runs from Gyöngyös up to Mátrafüred, a nice alternative to a second climb in the camper.

### Stage 3: Mátrafüred to Eger (via Kékestető) (approx. 65 km)

- **The drive:** Take Road 24 through beech forest and many hairpins via Mátraháza up to the turn-off for Kékestető, then descend on the north side to Parádsasvár and Parád, and continue via Recsk and Sirok to Eger. Well surfaced on the way up, but winding and full of motorcycles on sunny weekends; use a low gear on the way down. A good 1.5 hours.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Kékestető, at around 1,014 m Hungary's highest peak: viewing platform at the TV tower and forest paths along the ridge.
  - Carriage museum in Parádfürdő and the memorial at the former Recsk forced labour camp in the forest above the village.
  - Sirok castle ruin on a volcanic rock above the Tarna valley, a short, steep climb.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** In Eger, Tulipán Kemping (also listed as Tulipán Camper Park) lies in the Szépasszony-völgy, the Valley of the Beautiful Women, a few steps from the wine cellars and within walking distance of the old town; electricity, sanitary facilities and service point, check the season – in early spring it may still be closed. Along the way, VÁR-Camping Sirok below the castle ruin offers a quiet alternative.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Overnight stays are not intended at the summit car park on Kékestető or at the forest car parks in the Mátra. In Eger, parking in the centre is paid and unsuitable for campers; the campsite in the Szépasszony-völgy is the legal and practical solution.
- **Insider tip for campers:** In the small cellars of the Szépasszony-völgy, try Egri Bikavér and the white Egri Csillag – with the campsite within walking distance, nobody has to drive afterwards. You can reach the old town with its castle, minaret and Lyceum (camera obscura in the tower) on foot in around 20 minutes. Thermal water is on offer at the Eger Thermal Bath and the Turkish Bath, and at the salt hill of Egerszalók a few kilometres south-west.

### Stage 4: Eger to Aggtelek (via Szilvásvárad) (approx. 100 km)

- **The drive:** Take Road 25 up the valley via Bélapátfalva to Szilvásvárad on the western edge of the Bükk, then continue via Ózd and Putnok into the karst region of Aggtelek. Well surfaced as far as Szilvásvárad, beyond Ózd through old industrial valleys and finally on narrower country roads into the hilly borderland with Slovakia. Around 2 hours' driving without stops.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Bélapátfalva Cistercian Abbey, the only fully preserved Romanesque Cistercian church in Hungary, below the Bél-kő.
  - Szalajka Valley near Szilvásvárad: on foot or by forest railway to the Veil Waterfall (Fátyol-vízesés) over travertine steps and on to the Istállós-kő Cave.
  - Szilvásvárad Lipizzaner stud with stables and a horse museum.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Baradla Kemping és Turistaszálló lies in Aggtelek right by the cave entrance, a simple site with sanitary facilities; check electricity and condition in advance. If you stay in Szilvásvárad, you will find Szilvásvárad Camping & Apartman there with electricity and disposal for motorhomes; check the season in advance.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** The Szalajka Valley and Aggtelek lie within the Bükk and Aggtelek National Parks, part of the Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst World Heritage Site. Wild camping and overnight stays at hiking car parks are prohibited there; the car parks at the valley entrance in Szilvásvárad are paid day-use car parks.
- **Insider tip for campers:** You are not allowed to drive into the Szalajka Valley – leave the camper at the large car park at the end of the village. For Aggtelek, fill up and shop in Ózd or Putnok; the shops in the karst region are small. The Baradla Cave can only be visited on a guided tour; most tours start in Aggtelek, some in Jósvafő; special tours require advance booking – check times and options with the national park beforehand.

### Stage 5: Aggtelek to Lillafüred (Hollóstető) (approx. 95 km)

- **The drive:** Via Putnok and the Sajó valley with Kazincbarcika to Miskolc, then west via Diósgyőr into the Szinva valley to Lillafüred and on up to Hollóstető. As far as Miskolc a wide country road with industrial and suburban traffic; from Diósgyőr narrow and winding between rock walls, and through Lillafüred with pedestrians and day-trip traffic. Around 2 hours.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Baradla Cave in the morning before setting off: dripstone halls including a concert hall, around 10 °C all year round.
  - Diósgyőr Castle on the western edge of Miskolc, a reconstructed royal castle with towers and a wall walk.
  - Lillafüred: the Palace Hotel on Lake Hámori, the Szinva waterfall below the hanging gardens and the Anna Cave in the travertine.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Hollóstetői Hegyi Kemping lies in the forest above Lillafüred near Bükkszentkereszt, a simple mountain site with sanitary facilities; ask about electricity and opening times in advance. For more comfort, consider a thermal campsite in Bogács south of the Bükk, though it means a detour.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Lillafüred and the Bükk plateau belong to the Bükk National Park. Overnight stays are not intended at the car parks by Lake Hámori or at the hiking car parks, and the parking areas in the village are small and paid.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Parking is scarce in Lillafüred – it is best to come early in the morning or on a weekday, or leave the camper in Miskolc and ride up on the narrow-gauge forest railway. The road through the Szinva valley is narrow; buses have priority on the bends. Fill up, empty tanks and top up water in Miskolc before the mountain section.

### Stage 6: Lillafüred to Sárospatak (via Miskolctapolca and Mád) (approx. 115 km)

- **The drive:** Back through the Szinva valley and along the southern edge of Miskolc to Miskolctapolca, then east on Road 37 via Szerencs into the Tokaj wine region. At Mád, take minor roads through the vineyards via Tolcsva to Sárospatak. Flat to hilly route, with narrow village through-roads in the wine villages. Around 2 hours.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Miskolctapolca Cave Bath (Barlangfürdő): thermal water at around 30 °C in natural rock passages – best in the morning, before the crowds arrive.
  - Mád: restored baroque synagogue and wine estates with vineyards such as Szent Tamás and Úrágya.
  - Sárospatak: Rákóczi Castle with its museum, the Reformed College with its historic library, and the Megyer-hegyi Tengerszem, a mountain lake in an old millstone quarry.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Tengerszem Camping lies in Sárospatak next to the Végardó thermal bath, with electric hook-ups and sanitary facilities; check the season and service point in advance. With the bath within walking distance, the site is a candidate for a rest day.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Wine estates occasionally allow one night in their car parks – only with the explicit consent of the estate. Farm tracks between the vine rows are private land, and the Tokaj Wine Region Historic Cultural Landscape is a World Heritage Site; don't park up freely there.
- **Insider tip for campers:** There is paid parking at the Cave Bath; with a long vehicle, come early. For wine tastings in Mád and Tolcsva, plan short distances and taste on foot in the village in the evening – Hungary has a 0.0 blood alcohol limit. In Szerencs, it is worth stopping at the Rákóczi Castle and the chocolate museum.

### Stage 7: Sárospatak to Tiszafüred (via Tokaj) (approx. 150 km)

- **The drive:** Along the Bodrog via Olaszliszka to Tokaj and on via Tarcal back to the west. Via Tiszaújváros and Polgár, and finally via Tiszacsege onto the plain by Lake Tisza. As far as Tarcal, vineyard and river landscape, then long, straight country roads through flat farmland. Around 2.5 hours' driving.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Tokaj: the confluence of the Bodrog and the Tisza below the Kopasz-hegy, the old town with the Rákóczi Cellar and small wine bars.
  - Tarcal at the foot of the Kopasz-hegy with wine estates and the statue of Christ above the vineyard slopes.
  - Lake Tisza (Tisza-tó) near Tiszafüred: a shallow reservoir with reed islands and oxbows, herons and cormorants in the evening.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Tiszafüred has several campsites on the lakeshore and at the thermal bath, including Albatrosz Kemping and Thermal Kemping, mostly with electricity and sanitary facilities, many with a season lasting into autumn; check beforehand. If you want to split the day, stay overnight in Tokaj at Tutajos Kemping on the bank of the Tisza opposite the old town – summer season only, check in advance.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** In its northern part, the shore of Lake Tisza is a bird sanctuary within the Hortobágy National Park; there, not only is free camping prohibited, but in places so is using boats. At the bathing spots, local bans on sleeping in vehicles apply.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Tokaj's old town is narrow – park the camper on the bank of the Tisza and walk in. Tiszafüred is the practical supply centre on the lake, with supermarkets, petrol stations and a thermal bath; take care of water and disposal at the campsite. Keep insect repellent to hand.

### Stage 8: Tiszafüred to Debrecen (via Poroszló and Hortobágy) (approx. 105 km)

- **The drive:** In the morning, cross the embankment to Poroszló and back, then take Road 33 dead straight through the Hortobágy to Hortobágy village and on to Debrecen. Flat, well surfaced, hardly any bends; on the puszta, watch out for crosswinds and harvest vehicles. Around 2 hours including the detour.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Poroszló Eco-Centre (Tisza-tavi Ökocentrum) with a large freshwater aquarium, a lookout tower and the water nature trail out into the reed beds.
  - Nine-Arch Bridge (Kilenclyukú híd) in Hortobágy, the Shepherds' Museum and the old csárda, plus grey cattle, Racka sheep and Nonius horses in the wildlife park and on the pastures near Máta.
  - Debrecen: the Reformed Great Church on Kossuth tér, the Déri Museum and Nagyerdő Park with its thermal bath.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** In Hortobágy village, Ökotúra Vendégház és Kemping is a small site with sanitary facilities on the edge of the village – ideal for experiencing the puszta in the evening without the day-trippers. For Debrecen, the spa town of Hajdúszoboszló, 20 km south-west, with its large thermal campsites is the tried-and-tested base; in Debrecen itself the choice is small, check the current situation in advance.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Hortobágy National Park is a World Heritage Site and strictly protected: many areas are only accessible on marked paths, with a guide or with a permit, and wild camping and overnight stays on farm tracks and by wells are prohibited. Cranes and geese rest on the wet meadows in autumn; disturbance is monitored.
- **Insider tip for campers:** For the fish ponds near Hortobágy, a narrow-gauge railway runs to observation towers – bring binoculars. On Road 33, fill up in Tiszafüred or Hortobágy; there is little in between. In Debrecen, don't drive into the centre; the Aquaticum bath in Nagyerdő makes a good finale.

## Camping practice & local rules

### Wild camping & overnight parking

- Wild camping is prohibited in Hungary. This route passes through four national parks – Duna-Ipoly, Bükk, Aggtelek and Hortobágy – as well as the protected landscape areas of the Mátra and the Zemplén; there, sleeping in a vehicle outside designated sites and leaving marked paths in protected zones are prohibited.
- Parking is not camping: a single night in an unsigned car park away from protected areas is sometimes tolerated, but you have no right to it. An awning, chairs or lowered levelling jacks count as camping. Municipalities and national park rangers carry out checks, and fines are possible.
- In dry summers the forestry authority often imposes nationwide fire bans; barbecuing at forest car parks is then also prohibited. Check the current situation before a barbecue evening.
- You can stay legally at campsites (kempingek), at motorhome parking areas (lakóautó parkoló), at thermal baths with their own site and at wine estates with their consent. Apps: park4night, Campercontact, Stellplatzführer; many small sites in the north-east are only listed there or in Hungarian.

### Waste disposal & supplies

- Public service points are rare in the north-east. Plan to fill up and empty at campsites, typically in Eger, Sárospatak and Tiszafüred; top up water and empty tanks before the mountain stages in the Mátra and the Bükk.
- Only empty grey water and the cassette at service points – not at forest car parks, not in karst areas such as Aggtelek, where waste water seeps straight into the cave system, and not at Lake Tisza.
- Tap water is generally drinkable; at campsites, look out for signs (“ivóvíz” = drinking water). Thermal water from baths is not drinking water.
- Gas: Hungarian exchange cylinders don't fit German connections. Autogas (LPG, “autógáz”) is available at larger petrol stations in Miskolc, Eger and Debrecen, but less often in the countryside; bring an adapter set and arrive with full cylinders.
- Wine cellars, farm shops and small campsites often take cash in forints – withdraw cash at ATMs in Eger, Miskolc or Tokaj. Many sites only open from spring to autumn; thermal campsites have longer seasons.

### Vehicle size & traffic rules

- Speed limits for motorhomes up to 3.5 t: motorway 130 km/h, expressway 110 km/h, outside built-up areas 90 km/h, in built-up areas 50 km/h. Over 3.5 t and with a trailer: motorway 80 km/h, expressway and outside built-up areas 70 km/h.
- e-matrica: in the region, mainly the M3 (Budapest–Miskolc), M30 (to Miskolc), M35 and parts of the M0 are tolled; this route only uses the M3 briefly. Since 2026 all motorhomes need the e-matrica, including those over 3.5 t; depending on registration, category D1 or D2. Trailers behind D1 vehicles don't need their own; behind D2 vehicles they need their own in category U. The vignette is linked to the number plate and can be bought online from the operator NÚSZ or at petrol stations. County vignettes are only available as annual vignettes for individual counties and are rarely worthwhile for holidaymakers.
- Blood alcohol limit 0.0 for all drivers – this also applies after a cellar tasting in the Valley of the Beautiful Women. Outside built-up areas, use headlights or daytime running lights during the day; phones only hands-free; high-visibility vest when getting out outside built-up areas in the dark.
- Mountain roads in the Mátra and the Bükk (Kékestető, Lillafüred, Szilvásvárad) are winding and partly narrow; some minor roads have weight or length restrictions – observe the signs. Winter tyres are not generally mandatory, snow chains only where signposted; on Kékestető there may be snow as early as late autumn.
- Dimensions: height 4.00 m, width 2.55 m, length of a single vehicle 12 m, vehicle combination 18.75 m. There is no environmental sticker. Mark protruding rear racks; on the puszta roads, watch out for ungated level crossings and agricultural vehicles.

## CampingSpirit packing & preparation checklist

- A warm jacket and non-slip shoes for the Baradla Cave and the Anna Cave: around 10 °C and damp steps, even in high summer.
- Pool shoes, bathrobe and swimming cap: the Miskolctapolca Cave Bath, Végardó, Tiszafüred and Hajdúszoboszló are on the route, and a swimming cap is often compulsory in lap pools.
- Binoculars for the Hortobágy and Lake Tisza – cranes, great bustards and herons can usually only be seen from a distance.
- Insect repellent and fly screens for Lake Tisza and the puszta, indispensable on still evenings.
- A gas adapter set and two full cylinders, as Hungarian exchange cylinders don't fit and LPG is thin on the ground in the rural north-east.
- Levelling ramps for sloping pitches at mountain sites such as Hollóstető and in the Szépasszony-völgy.

_As of 2026-10. Closures, fees and booking rules change: check official sources before you go._
