Gellert hill
The hill (that some believe used to be the meeting place of witches) today offers the most beautiful panoramic view of the city. The hill was named after Bishop Gellért (Gerald) renowned for propagating Christianity in Hungary. Tradition has it that he was sealed up in a barrel and thrown into the river Danube from the hill by insurgent pagan Magyars rebelling against Christendom after the death of our first king St. Stephen. The terraces of the Citadel built on the hilltop offer the best view of the city, and telescopes help one to catch all the details. It was built by the Austrians after the repression of the 1848-1849 War of Independence to provide military control over the town.
Liberation Monument, the statue of a woman visible from almost any point in town, was erected in 1947 to commemorate liberation from Nazi occupation. Firework rockets marking August 20 every year are launched from this point on Gellért Hill
The northern slope of the hill is known as Tabán. Prior to the thirties this was a densely populated area full of one-storied houses, among them well-known restaurants and pubs. In 1933, the houses of Tabán were demolished for sanitary reasons. Deer House (Szarvas ház) still maintains the old Tabán spirit. Today, Tabán is popular with families and children in winter when the first snows fall as the hill is ideal for sledging. In the summer, folk and rock concerts are organized on the hill slope. When on the hill, take a look at the two slabs of the original Berlin Wall erected here. Several thermal baths are located in the close vicinity of Tabán: Rác Baths, Rudas Baths and Gellért Spa Baths, the latter also featuring a four-star Danubius Hotel Gellert. |
