  1. The Turul monument, above the city on the top of Gerecse Mountain, is the largest bird statue in Central Europe.

  2. Ignore the libtard comments above the Turul bird is the national animal of Hungary it comes from Hungarian mythology. It was used by the fascist that is a fact but it is still used today for example it is in the logo of the Hungarian Army.

  3. Originally there was a huge stone monument built in 1907 for the thousand year anniversary of the state but is was destroyed later, in its place this huge Turul bird (as said before mythological creature) monument was built as a memento. The funny thing in this post is that I was just there today, and just got home from that hiking tour. 😀 There is a nice cave up there called Szelim-cave, and also a cool lookout tower, you should definitely visit in your freetime with some friends. If you can rent a car and go up to the parking area next to the bird, then the hike around that area is not hard at all.

  4. Turul monument above Tatabanya, for more you can google it. Also there is a nice cave near by, where one of the Witcher episode took. I guess the dragon one if I am right. The cave’s name is Szelim barlang (=cave), worth to give it a look!

  5. The biggest bird statue in Europe, based on a mythological creature, that is a key figure of Hungarian folklore and the old-religion. Called Turul.

  6. Is fake bird, you see, real bird are not that big, and are usually made of flesh, bones, feathers, skin. And sin. Hope that helps
