    Hidden, peaceful place with a LOT of beautiful flowers. The monument itself looks friendly yet commanding, and even though the trees obstruct the view mostly, you still feel like on the top of the world. For views, go to nearby Normafa! There is a nice patch of grass next to the monument, bring a book and enjoy the Buda tranquility!

    Astonishing place with a nice overlook to Budapest. The view is not so wide as it was in the early 20. century since the trees, but still nice.

    Great memorial sculpture. You can get quite a good view over Pest from here. It is well kept, with nice flowers in front. There are benches around, so that you can rest and enjoy the nature and landscape. Then, pleasant walks.

  • 5/5 István D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great views. It's not crowded at all. It's on the green way marked hiking trail. Walking distance from Children's Railway.

    I really like this viewpoint of Budapest however the pines grew so hight that it blocks the view a bit but it is still great!

    The monument is neglected, but the area is very beautiful, worth a tour. However, the panorama is not as wide as one might think, because many trees cover it. Unfortunately, absurd buildings are being built in the area, it is not clear how such a mess can be allowed

    Beautiful monument. At the top of the hill. Beautiful view of Budapest.
