The experience
Pine trees. No buildings. Just you and the forest.
Normafa is where Budapest goes to breathe. The walk begins at the Székelykapu — a carved Transylvanian gate at the forest edge — and moves through pine woodland, open meadows, and quiet clearings that most city residents never reach.
Twenty-five GPS stops are scattered across the route. There are no landmarks here in the traditional sense — no grand buildings, no famous squares. Just the forest, the light through the trees, and whatever comes up when there’s nothing else to look at.
Something about being outside makes people more honest. This is Along at its most natural.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes. The terrain is uneven forest path — nothing technical, but not city pavement either. Works in all seasons.

How it works
You receive a point cloud — 25 GPS stops on the map. Walk to any of them in any order. The question unlocks when you arrive. No fixed path. The forest sets the pace.
What you'll find
25 stops.
Your order.
The stops here aren’t museums or monuments. They’re clearings, paths, graves, gates — moments in the forest that earn a question.
Székelykapu
The traditional Transylvanian gate that marks the start. Carved wood, a symbol of passage. You step through it and the forest begins.
Makkos-rét
A wide forest meadow where the oak trees open up. The city is already gone. A question about what you leave behind when you come somewhere like this.
Csacsi-rét
A quieter clearing further along the trail. The kind of place that makes you stop walking without meaning to. A question about stillness.
Három Katona Sírja
The grave of three soldiers, deep in the forest. A small marker, easy to miss. A question about what we remember — and what gets forgotten.

No city here.
Just trees, and what you want to say.
