Nagy-Kopasz, Mountain summit in Pest County, Hungary
Nagy-Kopasz is a mountain summit in Pest County reaching 559 meters in elevation with steep slopes on all sides. The landscape drops sharply around it, creating a local relief of more than 300 meters that makes the peak stand out in the region.
The mountain formed as part of the Carpathian range during tectonic activity in the Mesozoic era through Alpine mountain-building processes. These geological forces shaped the distinctive profile of the mountain chain over millions of years.
Local residents maintain hiking traditions on Nagy-Kopasz through organized group walks and regular maintenance of marked paths throughout the seasons.
The summit is accessible via multiple marked hiking trails, with the main route beginning from Piliscsaba railway station and offering a steady climb. The paths are well-marked and require standard hiking gear for the ascent.
A wooden observation tower with a distinctive cubic design made of stacked blocks was built on the summit in 2014. The tower rises about 11.5 meters and provides extended views across the surrounding landscape.
