The Hollófészek (pronouncation [holoufe:sek]- raven’s nest) is the highest point of the Zselic Hills (358 m), situated in southwest Hungary. This region is a very intact countryside which is abounded in forests and wild animals.
The Hollófészek is located in a very nice woody part of the hillside and gives a fine view at the valley of Bakóca.

HOW TO GET THERE?

Starting points:
1.) Bakóca: From the village center you have to follow the blue cross sign until the 'Tatarugrato' (means: Tatar's josher) and here at the crossroad turn left and follow the blue stripe and you will have occassion turn left to an unsigned forest path. (among waypoints)
2.) Nagymáté hunter's lodge: (it's the shorter way) You have to start towards Kán (there is the GCG8FB cache too), and turn left at the first crossing. Approximately in 10 kms distance, you will find the lodge, and can park there. Start on the blue square&leaf sign and you will find the previously mentioned blue stripe painting on the trees.
When there is rain, the route is very loomy, sticky and muddy – you have to consider for it.
Have a nice excursion!
