Budapest is like no other capital cities, and its beautiful landscape is just one thing that differentiates it from its fellow metropolises. The parks, green areas, and protected natural attractions found in and around the city are all precious oases in the concrete jungle waiting for you to discover. With our guidance, you\u2019ll easily find them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apathy Rock<\/h2>\n

Situated in District II, 242-metre high Apathy Rock is a dolomite rock that rises above \u00d6rd\u00f6g-\u00e1rok\u2019s Lip\u00f3tmez\u0151 neighbourhood, giving home to more than 26 protected plant species and endangered insects such as longhorn beetle and praying mantis. While walking around, you will notice the shell marks, which indicate that the area was once submerged. The location is perfect for hiking, once you are there, you can visit the \u00c1rp\u00e1d Lookout Tower and Kecske Hill too. Side note: the panorama is outstanding!<\/p>\n

\u2197From Batthy\u00e1ny t\u00e9r, you can approach it by bus 11.<\/p>\n

B\u00e1tori Cave<\/h2>\n

Named after Paulite monk L\u00e1szl\u00f3 B\u00e1tori who lived there for nearly 20 years while writing explanatory notes to the Bible, Duna-Ipoly Natural Park\u2019s 360 metres long cave was most probably created in the Pliocene epoch. Its most characteristic morphological shape is a spherical room that is known to have formations in varied shapes and colours including pea stones and stalactites. What\u2019s more, hermalite and limonite can also be found in the cave.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2197To get there, take Budapest Children\u2019s Railway and get down at Sz\u00e9pjuh\u00e1szn\u00e9 stop.<\/p>\n

B\u00e9csikapu T\u00e9r Grapevine<\/h2>\n

It is rather a pilgrimage site than a favoured hiking spot, but its story is so charming you might feel tempted to go see it. According to witnesses, B\u00e9csikapu T\u00e9r\u2019s famous grapevine grew out of war debris near an apartment building, which is now part of a garden, in 1945. It got under protection in 1982 as a result of an argument between people that lived there, because someone wanted to get rid of the plant precious to many others. One of the residents, who was born in 1947 when its first fruits grew, spared no time to get the grapevine under the capital city\u2019s protection, and he soon succeeded.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2197From De\u00e1k t\u00e9r, take bus 16.<\/p>\n

Gell\u00e9rt Hill<\/h2>\n

Located on the right side of river Danube, Gell\u00e9rt Hill is often referred to as Budapest\u2019s true gem. The most known location on our list is already a favoured spot by tourists and locals thanks to its fabulous panoramic view and uplifting green areas. The approximately 140 metres high dolomite rock is an UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987, and became part of the Duna-Ipoly Natural Park in 1997. Unfortunately, the habitat is only partially natural, but it still has significant bird diversity. \u00a0Considering its flora, watchful visitors can find figs and sprouted rose bushes left to us by the Turks, along with Silene flavescens, a plant that doesn\u2019t blossom anywhere else in Hungary.<\/p>\n

\"Gell\u00e9rt<\/p>\n

\u2197Walk up the hill from Szent Gell\u00e9rt t\u00e9r.<\/p>\n

J\u00f3kai Park<\/h2>\n

Sv\u00e1b Hill\u2019s J\u00f3kai Park was founded in 1973. It was named after its former owner, famous Hungarian writer M\u00f3r J\u00f3kai. He purchased the land at the age of 28 from the money he earned after two of his renowned novels: The Hungarian Nabob and Zolt\u00e1n K\u00e1rp\u00e1thy. Before he gained ownership, the territory (a former stone mine) belonged to the violin manufacturer J.B. Schweitzer. J\u00f3kai fell in love with the irresistible panorama over Gell\u00e9rt Hill, the Danube and the city. He built a terrace and surrounded it with roses, vine, maple, linden and fruit trees. The place became his sanctuary far away from the noisy city centre. Today there is a memorial room dedicated to the writer with personal belongings but other exhibitions are also held. The park can be visited on business days.<\/p>\n
