Some basic info (to foreign students) on Volánbusz travel:
Though you may purchase a one-time ticket to “Hollóstető”
from the bus driver by cash
(with a 50% discount for people under 25 years of age),
you may choose to use your Hungary Pass (Országbérlet)
or Borsod County Pass (Borsod megyebérlet) instead, which
are valid for local (MVK, Miskolc) public transport as well.
(MVK-specific passes however, such as “kombinált bérlet”,
cannot be used for Volánbusz buses.)
You can use your valid pass by having its QR code scanned
by the yellow QR reader unit installed at the front door
inside the Volánbusz bus. Alternatively (in case of
technical difficulty with the reader unit), you can simply
show your pass with the associated ID card to the driver.

A note to students with PE (Physical Education, testnevelés):
According to confirmation by the Sports Office in September,
the point (hour) value of your hiking events will not be added to
the PE hours that you completed during the same calendar week.
Instead, your completed hike will replace your other PE hours
for that week. (For counting PE hours, the weekly maximum is
EITHER the hour-value of one hiking event OR 4 other hours.)
__
The primary date option for this event is Sunday (29th),
but the final date might possibly be Saturday (28th),
in case of less expected forecast weather conditions. Please
recheck the web site around Thursday or Friday morning.

Hiking route description:
A route without any steep uphills or fascinating viewpoints.
An opportunity to walk for several hours without much trouble.
You may chat with your fellows to get to know each other—or
contemplate (and possibly zone out a little) while “hiking”.
Nevertheless, it is a long walk, with 2 or 3 planned breaks.
The assumed pace is normal walking pace (~ speed of 4 km/h).
Normally, this route is boringly simple and very easy. However,
at the hike start, the weather might be a few degrees colder
than in Miskolc. (So, be prepared with an additional layer
of clothing.) Around or after subzero temperatures following
rainy or snowy days, some parts of the route may be slippery.
It is recommended to wear hiking boots or winter boots,
as well as to watch your step on possibly affected sections.
