Re: Interesting rock and very good picture!Hi Vid,
As much I know there are 5 such spectacular rocks near Írottkő summit. This one is in southeast direction from the peak, exactly in 3.5 km distance. By the way, did you know that a hill near Írottkő is called Szent Vid-hegy, and a chapel on top of it is called St. Vid Chapel? I know that St. Vid chapels and churches are common in Slovenia. But this one - as far as I know - is almost unique in Hungary. One of the 2 churches dedicated to St. Vid in Hungary
Cheers, Szani

Re: Interesting rock and very good picture!Hi Szani,
Thanks for explanations! Ascending the Írottkő summit we didn't see any rocks, but we were not exploring much. Regarding St. Vid chapels and churches I also don't have a clue how many of them there are around. I thought the name Vid would be more common towards te SE, for example in Serbia, but my grand parents are coming from Brezje na Gorenjskem and so there's also a pilgrimage church. In any case, it's a Slavic name.
Cheers!
Vid
