Abasár Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

An abandoned observation tower on a former military firing range once used by the 80th Ignác Török Mechanized Rifle Brigade. The structure offers a nice view of the Mátra, but it is in very poor condition. The ladders are unstable and climbing the tower is dangerous and officially prohibited. Several abandoned military buildings can still be found nearby, making the area an interesting stop for those exploring the surroundings.

Forest Cycle Path with Waterfall and Picnic Area

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This is a newly built cycle path, where you can blast down for fast descent... or you can make it part of a tour! Along the way, there are informational boards in Hungarian and English about the history of the area.

There are also tables and benches for eating and a wooden playground for children to decompress.

The only issue is its isolation: coming from Mátrafüred you need to ride along the main road until you get to the village anyway. But it's a nice and quite spot.

Bike Path to Mátrafüred

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This is a nice stretch of a tarmac bike path. It can be used for cycling as well as for running or walking, to start your tour in the Mátra. It's generally a gentle slope but continuous and thus perfect for some HIIT workout, without minimal disruption.

In fact there is only one proper crossing at the road to Gyöngyössolymos which unfortunately comes with a STOP sign, but luckily it is not a particularly busy junction.
