Szurdok

The Szurdok gorge extends for 600 meters between limestone cliffs, featuring multiple wooden bridges that cross over the Dera Creek bed.

The geological formation dates back to the Triassic period, when tectonic movements shaped the limestone layers and created the natural boundary between Pilis and Visegrád Hills.

The National Blue Trail, a significant Hungarian hiking network, passes through the gorge, making it an essential part of regional outdoor activities.

Visitors can access the gorge from a designated parking area near Pilisszentkereszt, with clear trail markers guiding them through the 1.8-kilometer hiking route.

The gorge maintains a consistently cool temperature even during summer, supporting a specialized forest ecosystem with specific plant species like hollow buttercup and woodland shield fern.
