Zsíros-hegyi turistaház, Mountain shelter between Nagykovácsi and Solymár, Hungary

The tourist house stands at 420 meters elevation on Zsíros Hill, featuring a main building with two restaurants and accommodations for 40 people.

The Hungarian Tourist Association's Friday Table group constructed this mountain refuge in December 1928, naming it after Vencel Fritsch for his contributions.

The facility served as a central meeting point for the Hungarian Speleological Society, providing equipment and access keys for exploring the nearby Solymár Devil's Cave.

The structure underwent renovations in 1935 and expanded with a scout home addition in 1936, continuing operations until 1986.

Today, only ruins remain of this former mountain shelter, with a memorial erected on the northern peak honoring István Kauzál, the table society's president.

Official opening: December 1928

Elevation above the sea: 420 m
