Hiking
The statue, erected in 2008, symbolizes the apple of knowledge. The work of sculptor Gábor Veres is made of red granite, stands on a marble pedestal, and weighs 3.5 tons. The apple - according to a student custom before exams - can be rotated around its axis, thus bringing good luck to the student taking the exam.
