A cool wind from the Buda Hills meets you as you step away from the metro statue and into shade — city noise shrinking behind you, the Danube glinting between rooftops. The guide threads a narrow forest path and points to a jagged outcrop where sunlight breaks through beeches; the walk becomes a slow ascent of views and small surprises.
