János Hill, Mountain summit in Budapest, Hungary

The peak reaches an elevation of 527 meters, making it the highest point in Budapest with dense forests covering its slopes.

The Elizabeth Lookout Tower, constructed in 1910 under Frigyes Schulek's design, stands at the summit as a Neo-Romanesque observation point.

The summit serves as a gathering point where residents of Budapest participate in outdoor activities throughout the different seasons.

Visitors can reach the summit using the Zugliget Chairlift or by taking the Children's Railway to János-hegy station followed by a walk.

From the tower's viewing platform, reached by climbing 100 steps, visitors can see up to 80 kilometers, including the High Tatra mountains.
