The rich outcome of archaeological excavations and
research of local history, going on in the area of Budaörs for several decades
now, has allowed for a stand-alone exhibition presenting the several thousand
year old past of our settlement, under Károly Király u. 2. Within the framework
of the „Living Museum" programme, visiting children and their parents are flown
to the past through programmes of the historical playhouse every Saturday
between 10 and 13 o'clock. After seeing the exhibition, you can take an easy
walk along Kárpát utca up to the 235-m-high Kő-hegy, the installed stairs lead
as far as the Chapel. On the crest stretching out in an east-west direction,
you can find dolomite rocks of interesting shapes with caves created formerly
by thermal springs. Unfortunately, natural vegetation of the area has recently
abated but visitors are compensated by sacral values and the wonderful view.
The Immaculate Conception Chapel was built in 1855 by Ferenc Wendler, who later
lived as a hermit in the neighbouring cave. This place of pilgrimage, becoming
ever more important, was destroyed in World War II and was rebuilt in 2003
based on old photographs and drawings by way of several thousand donations. The
hilltop next to the chapel was the venue of the passion-plays performed between
1933 and 1939 and staged by school-teacher Géza Bató in Hungarian and German
languages. This beautiful tradition has been revived since 2000 through the
organisation of the German Ethnic Municipality. Our walk on Kő-hegy is worth
continuing on neighbouring Calvary hill, which you can reach by walking along
Kőszikla and Kőláb utca. This 173-m-high hill of a very interesting cone shape
was formed by a former geyser. From the small Baroque chapel built by Jakab
Kreis in 1817, a
path with stations of the Cross leads to the Cross on the top of the hill. This
ensemble, almost totally destroyed, was renewed in 2002.
