The Széchenyi Hill Children's Railway is one of the most scenic rail lines in Hungary, offering breathtaking views of the city and its surrounding hills. Today, the railway will host its traditional "Following the Children's Railway" 20-kilometre daytime performance tour. This tour is a perfect opportunity to explore the beauty of the area and promote the Gyermekvasút.

The route includes all the stations of the Children's Railway and the main attractions of the area, such as the Normafa slope, the Elisabeth Canyon on János Hill, the Kaán Károly Canyon on Nagy-Hárs Hill, and the Nagyrét in Vüchvösvölgy. The trek takes seven hours, and the distance must be completed in seven hours at a level time.

The event, which is popular not only with hikers but also with railway enthusiasts, was first organized on 15 March 1996. Each year, a daytime performance ride is held on 15 March and a night-time performance ride on 19 August, making this the 50th performance ride in the history of the Little Railway.
