The Happy Pioneer Tour- children’s railway and buda hills
OVERVIEW
Nothing could be more fun for families with children between 5 and 18 than to go for an outing in the Buda Hills, enjoy a ride on the unique Children’s Railway, take a short walk in the woods and climb up to the Erzsébet Lookout Tower.
This eleven-kilometre-long, narrow gauge line was built in 1947 and called the Pioneers’ Railway. Children aged 10 to 14 operate the switches and signals, print and sell the tickets and manage the station.

We will travel to the the Children’s Railway on the scenic, hillside cogwheel railway. At the station we’ll visit an exhibition about the history of the railway and see how children take all the responsibility for running the service.
Having bought the tickets (your children can buy them if they like) we’ll go on a joy ride on the open-sided (in summer) train running through the woods of this national park, and you can see how the children run the system.
We will get off at the fourth stop and take a short walk through the woods to the Erzsébet Lookout Tower on János Hill to have a unsurpassed views of the whole city.
After an ice-cream break we’ll come back down to the city on the panoramic two-seater chairlift, another popular attraction for locals and visitors alike.
