Fairy Rock, Protected cliff in Buda Hills, Hungary
The dolomite rock formation stands out from the slopes of János Hill, offering panoramic views across the districts of Budapest and surrounding mountains.
The area surrounding Fairy Rock contained active dolomite quarries until 1977, when authorities designated it as a protected natural formation within Budapest.
Local residents frequently gather near Fairy Rock during weekends for outdoor activities, maintaining Hungarian traditions of spending time in natural settings.
Visitors can reach Fairy Rock by following the green triangle trail from the Libegő Chairlift lower station, requiring a 600-meter walk through forest paths.
The geological formation reveals distinct layers of dolomite rock, creating natural terraces that provide different viewing angles of the Hungarian capital.
