Discover Pilisborosjenő

There are several specific points of interest for a stay in Pilisborosjenő: the replica of Eger Castle and its connection to film, the Kevélyhegyi Nature Trail, and the Calvary as one of its stops. There are also marked routes and geological formations near Teve-szikla. This lets you get to know the area from both a cultural-historical and a scenic perspective, and decide whether film history, the nature trail, or nature topics should shape your stay.

A castle replica with a film history

The replica of Eger Castle was built in the 1960s for the filming of the movie Egri csillagok. It is located on the southwestern slope of Nagy-Kevély, within the municipality of Pilisborosjenő, near Teve-szikla and the Országos Kéktúra. Its purpose gives the structure a clear place in film history: it was built specifically for filming. For travelers interested in film history, it offers a specific point of interest; at the same time, the southwestern slope situates the replica in the landscape of Pilisborosjenő.

The Kevélyhegyi Nature Trail

The Kevélyhegyi Nature Trail was completed in spring 2008 and is about 10 km long. It leads to cultural-historical and natural points of interest in Pilisborosjenő and the surrounding area. At the stops, information boards explain in detail the characteristics and values of each place. The trail thus combines a stated total length with several themed stops. For planning, its approximate length provides a concrete framework; at the same time, the boards give each place its own focus. Nature and cultural themes sit side by side along the route.

Calvary on Vendel-hegy

The Calvary is a stop on the Kevélyhegyi Nature Trail, on the 278-meter-high Vendel-hegy in the municipality of Pilisborosjenő. Its stations and crosses were made of Hárshegyi sandstone and funded by donations from local residents. These details link two aspects of the site: the sandstone is a specific feature of its design, while the donations reflect the contribution of local residents. For those interested in local cultural history, the Calvary adds a tangible detail about materials and funding to the nature trail.

Marked routes in the town center

The yellow-marked route toward Kevély-nyereg starts in the center of Pilisborosjenő, on Templom utca. A blue-marked route for cyclists also starts in the center, on the former Roman road. The route details offer different points of reference: for the yellow marking, the direction and starting street are specified; for the blue route, its use by cyclists and its start on the former Roman road are noted. If you plan to follow one of the markings, check the current route markers before setting out.

Geology and paths in the surrounding area

Near Teve-szikla, the rock face of a quarry displays impressive geological formations; there is a view from its upper edge. The focus here is on geology and the view: the rock face is the striking landscape feature, and the view is described from its upper edge. This focus differs from the cultural-historical themes of the nature trail.

There are also route details for Gyopáros-barlang in the surrounding area. From Pilisborosjenő, the yellow-marked route passes below the cave; a blue route above the Teve-sziklák also runs below the cave. Gyopáros-barlang is freely accessible. Check the route details before setting out if you plan to include these paths in your plans.
