Buda Upland Budai-hegység

The memorial house was the last residence in Hungary of the great composer, Béla Bartók. Exhibits feature the life of Bartók including his study with the Borsendorfer piano, the carved writing desk and the leather armchair. The concert hall is the stage for regular concerts.

János-hegy (John's Hill) rises in the west of Buda. It is the highest eminence in the Hungarian capital (529m (1736ft), and there is a magnificent view from the almost 24m (79ft) high observation tower built in 1910. János-hegy has also been made attractive for winter-sports enthusiasts by the installation of a chair-lift), a ski-jump, a piste and a ski-lift.

The stalactite-rich cave, the longest in the Buda Hills, was discovered in 1904 during quarrying. Guided tours are offered every hour.

The Szemlohegy-cave is a well-known hydrothermal cave with formations such as peastone that were created where thermal water permeated through the limestone.

Three Frontier Hill (Hármashatár-hegy; 497m (1631ft) rises to the north within the boundary of Budapest. From its almost bare summit there is a fine view of Óbuda.

Below the top of the hill to the northeast can be seen the strangely-shaped Guckler Rock (Guckler-szikla).

2km (1 1/4mi.) northwest of Three Frontier Hill rises Csúcs-hegy (445m (1460ft)), from which there is a beautiful view.

Below to the south in charming Paul's Valley is a stalactitic cave (Pálvögyi cseppkobarlang) which is well worth visiting.
