Pilis

The Pilis peak reaches an elevation of 756 meters above sea level, standing as the second highest point in the Transdanubian Mountains region.

Medieval Hungarian kings established numerous hunting lodges near the mountain, particularly around the settlement of Pilisszentkereszt, creating a royal hunting territory.

The mountain forms part of the Duna-Ipoly National Park, connecting three local communities: Pilisszentlélek, Pilisszántó, and Pilisszentkereszt through their shared natural heritage.

Visitors can access the summit via a 12-kilometer trail with 278 meters of elevation gain, requiring approximately three and a half hours to complete.

Unlike its volcanic neighbor, the Visegrád Mountains, Pilis consists entirely of sedimentary rocks, marking a distinct geological transition in the region.
