Devil’s Peak is located in on the border of District 11 and 12, in Magasút (High Road) area. It is a narrow, rocky and steep sloped dolomite peak of 317 meters between Farkas-völgy and Irhás-árok. The nearly 10 hectare protected area features almost one third of the Hungarian flora with more than 600 species of plants including 44 rare ones.

It gained a protected status in 1982 for geological values of abandoned millstone mines and later, in 1999, it was extended to the karst brushwood in Edvi Illés Street and the calcareous oak forest.

Devil’s Peak lies south of Széchenyi Hill with Farkas-völgy in between. Stairs to the top reveal a scenic view over Gellért Hill, Széchenyi Hill, Sas Hill and Tétényi Plateu.

The highest point of the peak (Ördög-szószék, Devil’s Pulpit, 317 meters) awaits visitors with a well-groomed area and a colorful flora including Pride of Sussex, Pannonian knapweed, charlock, Asian flax, és Violet Limodore, just to name a few.

Devil’s Pulpit provides a stunning view over the nearby hills. It is based on dolomite with sparse glauconite grains painting it to green. During WW2 an air raid shelter system was established, however, it is closed to the public today.

In 2016 a new educational trail with 6 stations was created to introduce local natural values and their threats.

Hikers may follow the green triangle marker to discover the area even on hot summer days as the shady route provides shelter against sunlight up to the peak. Public transport service also grants easy access.
