Csóványos, Mountain summit in Pest County, Hungary

Csóványos is the highest peak in the Börzsöny mountain range of northern Hungary, rising to 938 meters. The summit can be reached from several starting points, with Diósjenő being one of the most commonly used trailheads in the region.

The mountain was earlier called Korányos, a name linked to korány, meaning dawn. The newer name may refer to csóvány, nettle, as the summit once had many nettles. In 1852 the geologist József Szabó climbed it and described seeing the Ipoly, Garán and Danube rivers. Until the mid-1960s a branch of the Királyrét narrow-gauge railway ran up the Szén stream valley to Csóványos station by the Spartacus hut.

The older name Korányos refers to korány, an early-morning time, while Csóványos may come from csóvány, meaning nettle, as nettles once grew thickly on the summit. Győrffy Ákos's poetry collection A Csóványos északi oldala (2000) won the Gérecz Attila Prize.

Several marked hiking trails lead to the summit from different directions, with routes of varying difficulty available for different skill levels. Most paths are accessible throughout the year, though autumn and winter months may present slippery conditions on steeper sections.

The concrete geodetic tower built on the summit in 1978 was closed for years, reportedly for safety reasons, before Ipoly Erdő Zrt. converted it into a lookout and reopened it on 9 October 2014. In good weather the High Tatras and the Schneeberg can be seen from the top.
