Hungary has the longest hiking line in Europe

According to travelo.hu, the renew of the National Blue Circle, which is the most popular tourist route of Hungary, is nearing the end, the last elements of the HUF 2.7 billion project will be handed over in September – communications associate of the Hungarian Hiker Association said at a press conference in Pecs on Monday.

Gabriella Szeki pointed out that National Blue Circle was created from the unification of the three blue tours, and thanks to the EU-funded developments it became one of Europe’s most modern and longest, 2550m-long hiking path. She highlighted: under the works, the roads had been cleaned, signs had been repainted; 230 objects including lookouts, bridges, tourist homes, rest areas had been restored, stamping places had been renewed and seals had been replaced. She added that 10 thousand boards help the tourists’ navigation with information. The making of a mobile application became possible by the GPS-based assessment of the blue circle’s trail and by the recording of the data into the Hikers Spatial Information System.
