Εύκολες πεζοπορίες και βόλτες Ουγγαρία

Το καταφύγιο Kő-hegyi Menedékház (Czibulka-János-Hütte) βρίσκεται στο Kő-hegy, ύψους 366 μέτρων, κοντά στο Szentendre και το Pomáz στην Ουγγαρία. Το ορεινό καταφύγιο άνοιξε το 1933 και ανήκει στα τελευταία κλασικά καταφύγια πεζοπορίας της χώρας. Προσφέρει φαγητό και δυνατότητες διανυκτέρευσης. Από την περιοχή του καταφυγίου απολαμβάνει κανείς μια όμορφη θέα στην κοιλάδα του Δούναβη και στα γύρω βουνά.

The equestrian statue of Saint Stephen I (Szent István) is undoubtedly the centerpiece of Fisherman's Bastion in Budapest's Castle District. It is not only a popular photo opportunity but also steeped in symbolism and history. Stephen I was the first king of Hungary (crowned in 1000 or 1001). He is considered the founder of the Hungarian state, uniting the Hungarian tribes and consolidating Christianity in the country. He was canonized in 1083.

Our natural treasure of impressive height, with stairs leading up to it, and from here we can take photos.

It was a castle of the Queen, which was destroyed by the Turks. It was reconstructed in 2005-2006, including the wooden observation tower and the Castle Well, which are worth highlighting (Photos attached). The view of the surroundings is impressive, especially towards the Kevélyek. It is definitely worth a visit, and you can visit the castle for an entrance ticket. The castle is easily accessible, and the surroundings are also nicely developed.

It is very important to remember that although Hungarian wine and palinka are acceptable, they are indecently expensive, even in a below average store. My recommendation is to buy the same products, but from Romanian, Bulgarian or Moldovan producers.

It can only be reached on foot, as there are steep stairs leading up to the organs. You can leave your bike at the Kaán Károly Tourist House. From here, you can find this unique natural wonder just a few steps away. Follow the blue OKT sign. It will be a fantastic experience!

There are plenty of statues in Budapest.

The Saint Stephen Monument (Hungarian: Szent István szobra) stands on Castle Hill in Budapest, between the Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church on Szentháromság tér. Erected in 1906, it depicts the first Hungarian king, Stephen I, who introduced Christianity to Hungary and founded the kingdom. The bronze equestrian statue was created by the sculptor Alajos Stróbl, while the architect Frigyes Schulek designed the ornate base. The monument depicts Stephen on a proud horse, crowned and holding a cross, symbolizing the connection between secular power and the Christian faith. The stone base is decorated with reliefs depicting scenes from his life—including his coronation and the spread of Christianity. Set against the historic backdrop of the Castle District, the statue is one of Budapest's most famous landmarks and commemorates the canonized king, who is venerated as the founder of the Hungarian state.
