You’re walking through calm forest, thinking about the next hill, when history suddenly appears between the trees. A small soldiers’ grave stands there quietly — no drama, no big monument, just stone, moss, and silence. It’s the kind of place that makes you stop for a moment and remember that even peaceful forests have deep stories. 🌲

It was a castle of the Queen, which was destroyed by the Turks. It was reconstructed in 2005-2006, including the wooden observation tower and the Castle Well, which are worth highlighting (Photos attached). The view of the surroundings is impressive, especially towards the Kevélyek. It is definitely worth a visit, and you can visit the castle for an entrance ticket. The castle is easily accessible, and the surroundings are also nicely developed.

It was the Parish Church of the former Gercse village, which dates back to the Árpád era. It is in good condition, masses are also held in it. The first written record mentions it in 1212. Surrounded by shady trees and a cozy wooden bench, no one would think that we are in Budapest (on the edge).
