Tips from the Community
“There remains to add,” writes Sigfried Grän OFM in ‘Noah, the Builder of the Ark and Inventor of Viticulture,’ “what we omitted above in our summary of the Noah story. Noah not only survives the Flood and, after his rescue, offers a burnt offering to the Creator, but he also incidentally becomes the inventor of viticulture. (...) In ancient Israel, the grapevine was considered the noblest of all plants. To own a vineyard, to enjoy its fruit, and to be able to rest in the peace of its shade was... the epitome of a happy and blessed existence.” (Source: “In the Land of the Lord. Franciscan Journal for the Holy Land,” Issue 4/2024)

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.

Not far from the Horizont cycling route (about 100 m away) we find this primarily tourist resting place, which got its name from the small house (hut) located here. A typical forest resting place, with wooden benches and tables. Unfortunately, the well is not working, water could be obtained from the Király well a few hundred meters away, but it was just dry when I visited. The cottage itself is locked, so I can only guess that it is a key house, for pre-registered tourists (???). Another thing worth mentioning is a map that covers a fairly large area of Pilis. A popular tour stop, resting place, which could be much better developed, and at least water would be available - but it is not.

The 693m lookout point is located a few 100m from the "heart" of Dobogókő, the well-known Baron Eötvös Lóránd Shelter. The view is magnificent: The Danube Bend, Börzsöny and Visegrád, just to name a few. The lookout point is named after Rezső Tirts, Forest Councilor.
