Magos-fa

Magos-fa is a mountain in Pest County standing at approximately 900 meters high, with varied vegetation covering its slopes. The landscape features diverse geological formations that shape the mountainside.

The summit holds the remains of an Iron Age fortress, indicating sustained human settlement at this location. Archaeological discoveries of pottery from the Late Bronze Age confirm even earlier occupation of the site.

The mountain is known locally as 'Tátralótó', a name that reflects the sweeping views available from the summit on clear winter days. From this vantage point, the distant Tatra Mountains become visible along the horizon.

The hiking trails to the summit are marked with green blazes and can be accessed from the village of Kemence or from the direction of Csóványos mountain. These established routes provide clear guidance throughout the ascent.

The fortress ruins at the peak spread across a substantial area and still show the outlines of ancient structures. Some sections of the defensive walls have survived with heights reaching up to one meter.
