Beyond my Blue Trail: Pilisszántó
This is a continuation of yesterday's post. I didn't continue the Blue Trail because I had very little time left, but just enough time to go to a nearby village, Pilisszántó.
Before I made this decision, I went up a very steep hilltop from the Mary's Spring, at the top of which I heard the male deer, bellowing loudly and preparing to fight.

I was a little scared because I didn't want to meet them up close and personal, as an intruder on their territory.
So I turned around and headed back towards Pilisszentkereszt.  The village was already visible in the distance through the trees.

Looking in the other direction, I waved goodbye to the twin peaks of Kevély.

At the edge of the village, I was surprised to see a beautiful horse, peacefully grazing in the lush grass.

Clouds were gathering above me, but I ignored them. A few minutes of running rain was expected, but I had my raincoat in my backpack, ready to put it up.

Passing through the village I reached the motorway to Pilisszántó, from where I had to walk for just over half an hour. On the way I stopped at a memorial cross. It was probably in memory of a motorcyclist.

![P1500394.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/fairyberry/23tvXvDS1D3hyrkaYgWm87X71i8gU56zykiV3QVTgFWF6CxKwQWG924fJxXNrcdMtdzsE.JPG)

Shortly before Pilisszántó I was caught by a small shower, and it rained with varying intensity until I reached my destination, then the cloud moved on. But in the meantime the sun was shining and it cheered me up.

![P1500395.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/fairyberry/EqWkJbKuiSDZW8ccSRdMZccJmbStgCJ3dK457hpEqTzUBECs2BgqxX5YifToBFpw6h2.JPG)

Pilisszántó is surrounded by rocky mountains to the north and east. To the north of the village, a sacred site has been built on the side of the mountain, taking advantage of the local features. There is also a beautifully restored wheel well, which used to be used by lime burners.

![P1500398.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/fairyberry/23uFHTopFvtHxJ8YARSGGtQBohgtTUpnCsa6C4LHLCfABQ9pm9WxrCtj2HKZJAtR64JNC.JPG)

Next to the well, you can go up to the "Cliff Theatre", which used to be a quarry. A carved wooden gate marks the entrance. On the top you can see the characteristic cross with many branches.

At the top of the rock face is a huge, snow-white limestone statue of the Blessing Jesus.

The towers of the Chapel of Mary are also visible.

Ancient  motifs on the plinth of the gate

Chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It was built of local stone from public donations and  designed by one of the world famous  Imre Makovecz's students, József Őrfi.

The interior of the chapel is small, but very intimate. Best for solitary or small group contemplation. If a larger group comes for a ceremony, it is usually held in front of the chapel.

I spent 20 minutes in the solitude of the chapel and then went out to the statue of Jesus.

![P1500445.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/fairyberry/245mkYABLqvswyzBfQeUMNbGZd3NSbZzJresbJ78ub1BGFR9SgpzXNueQ6xKfcSS4RJaC.JPG)

I spent at least another fifteen minutes by the statue, admiring the magnificent view. In the distance I could see the rain falling over the Buda hills.

I arrived in the village in less than a quarter of an hour, and I still had half an hour before the bus to Budapest. The pastry shop was still open and I bought a huge slice of chocolate cake, which I ate at the bus stop and had chocolate in my face.
