Vörös-kővár

Vörös-kővár is a mountain summit in the Budai mountains reaching 338 meters (1,110 feet) in elevation. The views from the top extend across the Pilis and Gerecse mountain ranges.

German-speaking settlers arrived in the 1600s and founded Pesthidegkút at the foot of the summit. They built religious structures that shaped the area's character for centuries to come.

The summit draws locals especially during Easter, when traditional processions climb from the old church in Pesthidegkút below. These practices show how the place has long held meaning in the community's spiritual life.

The summit is reachable by marked hiking trails starting from several bus stops in the area. Visitors will find easy access through these established routes from various starting points.

The mountain is made of dolomite breccia formations that display distinctive weathering patterns across the surface. This geological makeup makes the place visually interesting for those who hike there.
