Csóványos, Mountain summit in Pest County, Hungary
Csóványos reaches an elevation of 938 meters, making it the highest peak in the Börzsöny mountain range of northern Hungary.
The mountain has functioned as a natural border marker and navigational reference point for local communities since the medieval settlement of the region.
Local residents gather annually at the summit during summer solstice to maintain traditional mountain celebration customs dating back several generations.
Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit from different directions, with the most accessible route starting from the parking area at Diósjenő.
The summit features an observation tower that provides views extending across four countries: Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, and on clear days, Ukraine.
