In Dömös, ferry services meet two hiking trails with different route profiles. The town also has a history dating back to 1107.

Hiking trails with different profiles

A 10.6-kilometer hiking trail starts in Dömös. Its first section is steep; the trail passes the Vadálló-kövek rock formations and offers a view from Prédikálószék. Its distinctive features are the steep start, the rocks, and the view.

The 8.8-kilometer Rám Gorge hiking trail also starts in Dömös. It passes through a gorge and the valley of the Malom Stream to the Holy Tree Chapel pilgrimage site. Ladders provide a way up to the upper edge of the gorge. The return route to Dömös goes through Lukács Trench. When comparing the two routes, consider not just the distances but also their specific features: the steep first section on one trail, and the gorge and ladder climb on the other. Trail conditions may change; check them before setting out.

Ferry services and travel planning

Ferries run regularly between Pilismarót, Zebegény, and Dömös. These ferry services are one possible consideration when planning your trip. No specific timetables are provided, and they may change; check the current timetable before your journey.

If you would like to include a ferry ride, be sure to factor the timetable into your plans as well.

History and art in Dömös

In 1107, Prince Álmos founded a provostry in Dömös in honor of Saint Margaret of Antioch. Lőrinc, Archbishop of Esztergom, consecrated it. Today, the restored lower church, handed over in 1989, and several stone carvings bear witness to the artistic significance of the provostry. Dömös thus combines medieval history and surviving traces of this building with opportunities for hiking.

Another connection to art is the Dömösi Galéria, which houses several works by Krutsay. The town’s history and the works in the gallery form a cultural focus distinct from the two hiking trails.
