Welcome Wanderer!
Whoever has made it to Döbrentei Square, there is no turning back. Now that you’ve caught sight of the towering Gellért Hill before you, a strange feeling stirs in your stomach, and as if pulled by an irresistible force, you begin your journey towards it.
At the entrance, glowing-feathered turul birds guard the tranquillity of the Gellért Hill. These birds were once warriors soaring through the sky, and their sole purpose was to protect the mountain from all dark forces. Now they rest, awaiting the footsteps of brave-hearted wanderers, allowing only those to pass who promise to cherish the mountain's secrets (and the location of the warmup party). Whoever crosses will have their fate forever intertwined with the mountain’s history and will forge an eternal alliance with the bird warriors.
Continue, wanderer, and let the water guide your path. As the trail rises, you will pass by the Waterfall of Secrets. Beware! Resist, for this cascade possesses a peculiar power: it can draw forth the deepest secrets of your soul. Your only defence is to walk on in silence, cloaked in stillness until you reach the top.
You have arrived at the mysterious hall of Saint Gellért, where an ancient legend echoes. The pedestal of the statue holds a secret ability: if someone places their hand upon it and concentrates on their greatest desire, they will find the strength to realize it. But be cautious! A heavy curse weighs upon those who enter this mystical place with impure intentions. If your desire is not pure, you will lose your direction and wander the same path over and over again. However, those who arrive with true intentions may discover greater courage and perseverance than they ever thought possible.
Be a brave wanderer, for you now set forth on dark paths. As you approach your goal, the lights of the Buda castle guide your way from the north. Never loose sight of it! You often have to decide which direction to choose, but if you listen to your heart (and the music), you will find your destination eventually.
You have reached the garden, where the knowledge of humanity is embodied by the statues of great thinkers, forming a circle around a glowing orb at its centre. As you observe this, you can feel within your own body the tremendous power that resides in a circle filled with shared energies, knowledge, and perspectives. In time, you will notice that the statues whisper these words: "For a better understanding of each other." Now, continue toward your final destination, so you can pass on this wisdom in your own circles.
