Újlaki Hill

Újlaki Hill is a summit in the Buda Hills on the western side of Budapest, reaching about 449 meters in elevation. The peak sits within District II and overlooks the city and surrounding rolling terrain.

The area was developed with marked trails starting in the early 1900s to make it accessible for recreation and hiking. The Buda Hills transformed from untamed terrain into a popular destination with organized pathways and basic facilities.

The Children's Railway, operating near Újlaki Hill since 1948, maintains its traditional format where students handle most railway operations under adult supervision.

Several marked trails lead up to the summit and connect with a wider network of paths across the Buda Hills. Most routes are fairly steep and need moderate fitness levels to complete.

The peak contains dolomite rock formations from the Triassic period, revealing millions of years of geological history through its layered stone. Careful observers can spot different mineral compositions and weathering patterns in the exposed rock faces.
