Atalia Aron
★★★★★7 months agoOpen on New Years Day, so a very lovely and peaceful hike, the scenery is beautiful and quiet, alot of fresh air and a great way to start the day and Year. Highly recommend to come out here to take a break from the buz of the city. It's a vert easy busride from Budapest center, and from Normaka to the lookout it takes about 30 min walking at a relaxed pace.
