Máriagyűd

Máriagyűd is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Hungary. The Baroque church has long been a place of pilgrimage because of its Marian apparitions and in 2008 the Pope granted it the status of Basilica Minor. Besides being a place of pilgrimage, the church is also the end point of the Hungarian Pilgrimage Route, which connects the holy places of Hungary, similarly to El Camino. The 420 km long Pilgrim's Way from Esztergom to Máriagyűd connects the holy places of the country.

If you are looking for active recreation, you should walk along the Csodabogyó – that is, Wonderberry – trail, which starts at the foot of the Máriagyűd Kegytemplom (Máriagyűd Episcopal Church) and leads hikers along a 2.5 km long path. As well as hiking, there are horse riding opportunities in the village, and if you want to explore the region on two wheels, we recommend the Three Rivers Cycling Trail.
