Mátraháza

Mátraháza is a resort area within the town of Gyöngyös in Heves County, Hungary, situated in the Mátra mountain range.

[1] As the first step in the development of the resort, the Mátra Association created a marked trail in the Kalló Valley in 1888, at the end of which Pál Klimó established a forest rest area.

In 1907, the construction of the road connecting Gyöngyös with Parád was completed, and the workers' house was acquired by the Mátra Association, led by Kolos Hanák [hu], and converted into a hostel.

The Patrona Hungariae chapel was built in 1942, and its wooden relief door was created in 1999 by the sculptor István Hegedűs.

The Vörösmarty Hostel and the bus station are stamping places for the National Blue Trail.
