Castle of Nógrád

What a great place! Not so far from Budapest, but far enough to feel like you got out of the city. There’s a little parking area. The walk up to the castle is not so far, but far enough. You won’t be taking an hour+ hike if that’s what you’re looking for. Great place to take younger kids. There aren’t any bathroom facilities, but you also don’t have to pay admission or anything. There are a few benches to sit on. Great place for picnics in the spring and summer.

Amazing panorama from there! :o

One of the most inspiring ruins of castles of the medieval Hungary. You can support maintaining the area by checking foundation ‘Nograd Varanak Megmenteseert Alapitvany’

Nice historical place, visit for your own risk only; unfortunately the walls are in quite bad condition. Not much information, but I still liked it, and the view is amazing all around.

There is not much left of the castle - but the views across the surrounding landscapes are marvelous.
