January 10 brings a no-nonsense winter hike from Buda Jane (Budajenő) to the Big Haystack (Nagy-Szénás) peak for anyone kicking off the year with clear heads and ready legs. It’s a fast-paced forest loop designed to boost endurance and overall fitness, with quiet trails and crisp air doing their reset magic. Participation is free, but you need to sign up in advance.
Where and when
Start point: Pharmacy Garden (Patikakert), 2093 Buda Jane (Budajenő), Rozmaring St. 046/10. Date: Saturday, January 10, 2026.
The route
Expect 22 kilometers with 2,074 feet of elevation gain, so save the casual strolling for another day. This one’s for regular hikers and people who already live actively and aren’t afraid of a steady, sporty pace.
Why go
It’s the trifecta: robust movement, mindful presence, and nature’s quiet. The loop keeps logistics simple, the climb tests your lungs, and the winter forest does the rest—no gym playlist required.
