Újlaki Hill, Summit in District II, Budapest, Hungary
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.
Újlaki Hill is the closest western foothill of the 495-metre Hármashatár-hegy, rising to 449 metres. Its bedrock is Upper Triassic main dolomite, later covered by nummulitic limestone and Buda marl. The hill block has largely escaped construction and remains one of the least frequented heights in the Buda Hills.
The hill's name, Újlaki, links it to the old settlement of Újlak, now part of Budapest's District II. The slopes are a launch site for paragliders, who use the relatively steep western drop toward Pesthidegkút and the Hármashatárhegy airfield. The Children's Railway, a separate attraction in the Buda Hills, is not on the hill itself.
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.
Újlaki Hill is the least visited elevation in the Hármashatár-hegy block and has almost entirely escaped construction. Its relatively steep western slopes above Pesthidegkút and the Hármashatár-hegy airfield make it a favoured launch site for paragliders.
