Unfortunatelly I had toothache, and bad night, so a few hours before starting I cancelled my participation, but the other guys had nice days.

Gábor can tell good stories about it. They had fortune with the weather.

I saw the good pictures J

In the summer I try to substitute this rendezvous, with cycling there and maybe with meet with Gabor,  and I’m interested in Várhegy, but much more Bánkút, where I hadn’t been.

Best ragards, : Gabor Györgyi

Start- Départ- Departure

Szilvásvárad

Route : Szilvásvárad – Bélapátfalva – Mónosbél - Szarvaskő – Eger - Várhegy (BIG 853) – Oldalvölgy – Pazsag – Bánkút (BIG 854) – Szilvásvárad

Distance : 95 km

Ascent : 1380 m

Experience : We started at 8 o’ clock from Szilvasvárad. This is a famous place in Bükk mountain. The weather was not too cold it was 20^oC with overcast. We passed near a castle of Szarvaskő after arrived in Eger. This is a historical town in Northern Hungary. After a town we started the climb. We could see much more grape in left side. From the top of the asphalt road (400 meters benchmark) we turned to grave. Every members had got a mountain bikes. Before this trip I said : the road bike wrong choose for this road. The grave pavement finished in Várkút house. From this point started the tourist path to the summit, Várhegy (BIG 853). We had a panoramic view. The eyeshot was over a 25 kilometers. We went another surfaces road throw the forest and arrived on asphalt road near Oldalvölgy house. This is a woodman house. From this point we went 20 kilometers on a narrow asphalt road near Pazsag woodman house. We got a public road beetween Eger and Miskolc. From the top of the asphalt road ( 720 meters benchmark) we turned to left on a narrow asphalt. We climbed to « Nagymező ». This is a beatiful plateau. After a few kilometers we arrived Bánkút (BIG 854). We returned in Nagymező and downhill throw the « Italy-gate » to another narrow asphalt road. This gate buildet Italy prisons in 1918. Before Szilvásvárad we swarmed a belvedere. This belvedere is 36 meters high and made in a wood. At 14 o’ clock we arrived in Szilvásvárad.

Suggestion :

Várhegy (BIG 853) is a very nice and quite place. The panoramic view is beatiful. Before the summit you can choose a touristic house. But on this height only for MTB. If you have a road bike you must 3 km on food and back.

Bánkút (BIG 854) is a quite place. You can choose a Ski-house (all year) and one pension. But this point is not a highest asphalt point in Bükk.

1. Over a Bánkút is a Felső-Borovnyák (945 m). This point from one kilometers from Bánkút. On this point are some antennas and a locater station.

2. Near the Italy-gate is a Kőrös-bérc (956m). This point between Szilvásvárad and Bánkút. The road distance from Italy-gate is only 3 kilometers. This road is very narrow and hardly used. On this point are two antennas.

So, the two BIGs are out. I think instead of Várhegy we can choose another Hungarian mountains. In Bakony mountain are potential a two : Kőris-hegy (709 m) and Kab-hegy (601 m). In Zemplén mountain is a Kopasz-hegy (524 m). In Budai mountain (in Budapest) is János-hegy (527 m) and in Börzsöny mountain is Nagyirtáspuszta (520 m).

But Bánkút is not a wrong choice. But we can choose another point in Bükk because Bükk mountain is very nice.

Which one ? This answer is in the future. Maybe in autumn.

Distance : 100 km

Ascent : 1530 m

Experience : We started at 7 o’ clock from Salgótarján. We heard that the Rallye race is on my elect road. We traveled by train to Tar. We started the climbed from this village. The weather was a little bit better than yesterday. The forests were very quiet and we feld a natures. The road had got a three hairpins. Long-long climbed with a 50 meters descent we arrived Galyatető (BIG 851). The wind was very cold, we weared every clothes. The Hotel Galyatető made a four stars. It’s a very nice and comfortable hotel. We descent a 400 meters and arrived a Mátra-nyereg. We could see many-many cars and heard the race voices. Climbed to Mátraháza (700 meters high) and turn to the Kékestető. It was a very gradient road. The hairpins numbers were 7. The last 30 meters were grave but not too wrong. This point is a highest point in Hungary. The topstone with a three nations colourses (red, white, green) is a symbol for Hungarian people. We down the hill and climb to 720 meters. This road is a near asphalt road but not too good. We arrived Mátraalmás and down away. The downhill at the and in Dorogháza. But we had a backwind. The last 20 kilometers was a suhsine and we fel good.

Suggestion :

This cols are very good places. I think they must in list !

Bye!

Gabor from Hungary
