You’re walking through calm forest, thinking about the next hill, when history suddenly appears between the trees. A small soldiers’ grave stands there quietly — no drama, no big monument, just stone, moss, and silence. It’s the kind of place that makes you stop for a moment and remember that even peaceful forests have deep stories. 🌲

The lookout tower is permanently closed for an indefinite period. It is unsafe due to its dilapidated condition.

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.

When the Holy Father Leo XIV greeted the faithful in May 2025 – immediately after his election as Pope – his first words deeply touched not only people of the Catholic faith. Perhaps the words he spoke in St. Peter's Square may also be a helpful thought for the walker pausing before this small sacred monument: + "Peace be with you all! Dear brothers and sisters, this is the first greeting of the Risen Christ, the Good Shepherd... I too desire that this greeting of peace may enter your hearts, reach your families, all people, wherever they are, all nations, the whole earth. Peace be with you! This is the peace of the Risen Christ, an unarmed and disarming peace, humble and persevering. It comes from God, the God who loves us all unconditionally." (Leo XIV)

The Duna-Ipoly National Park encompasses the Pilis, Visegrád, and Börzsöny Mountains, the section of the Ipoly Valley between Hont and Balassagyarmat, and some areas of Szentendre Island. 🧭 The unique characteristic of the national park is the confluence of three major landscape units: the river valleys, the mountains, and the plains. 🚣🏻♀️🌄🏕️ This results in a high level of diversity within our borders, which is unique within our borders. ⭐ www.dunaipoly.hu/hu/helyek/vedett-teruletek/duna-ipoly-nemzeti-park
