Normafa Park, Nature park in Buda Hills, Hungary
Normafa Park is a nature park on a plateau in the Buda Hills that connects two hills through a network of forest paths and clearings. The area offers trails suitable for different activities and open spaces with views.
The area took its name from a tree planted during medieval times that grew for more than 500 years before disappearing in the early 20th century. This tree was a landmark that people recognized and remembered for generations.
The name comes from an opera performance held here long ago that connected a local artist to the place through music and performance. This connection shaped how people think about the location and made it a gathering spot over the years.
The park has several marked trails suitable for hiking, cycling, and winter activities like skiing and sledding. There are designated picnic areas and open spaces for outdoor gatherings throughout the park.
The ground beneath the park is made of a special limestone formation that makes the terrain different from other Budapest parks. This geological feature shapes how the landscape looks and feels when you walk through it.
