With its 1014 metres of elevation, Kékestető is the highest summit of the Mátra mountain range and also the highest point of Hungary. On the top you will find a TV tower and ski centre, the highest point is marked with a rock painted in Hungary's national colours. The queen stage of the Tour de Hongrie often concludes in a summit finish on Kékestető.

The climb starts from Gyöngyös, which is the centre of the local wine region. The first 14 kilometres have a moderate 4-5％ gradient, but the final 4 kilometres from Mátraháza are much steeper and harder with around 7-8％ gradient. The asphalted road is twisting through dense oak, beech and pine forests and has an excellent quality along the entire ascent due to the recent renovation works.
