It's a well-maintained spot offering beautiful views of Pécs and a pleasant escape for picnics and walks, though some note that slightly higher nearby points offer even better city panoramas.
"A romantic park with middle age ruins. You can find here restaurants, walk routes, viewpoint, playground, football court, trail heads into the Mecsek, etc."
István Háber
"These ruins are located at the entrance to the world's smallest botanical garden. There's ice cream here behind locked bars... And a cave I think as well. Lots of grass and trees and green stuff with a nice shade in the summer. If you like old rocks and grass it's definitely a hit! Sort of a nice view over pecs but the view is better from places close by."
Jon Bolmstedt
"Good and beautiful place to explore. Amazing view of the whole city of Pécs. Has interesting views. Ruins and viewpoints as well."
