Buda Hills
The Buda Hills are a low mountain range of numerous hills which dot the Buda side of Budapest, capital of Hungary. The most important ones are Gellért Hill, Castle Hill, Normafa,, János Hill, and Eagle Hill. These hills consist of both nature and residential areas.Geology
The Budaörs dolomite of Anisian-Carnian age is the oldest formation which crops out in the Buda Hills. Younger Triassic succession is composed of cherty dolomite and limestone, and dolomite combined with limestone. The Trassic surface is composed of karstified carbonates, which are overlain by an Upper Eocene succession made of conglomerate beds.
During the period from the terminal Cretaceous to Priabonian, the area was a karstic terrestrial environment displaying distinct relief differences. It was also the time when Triassic formations were eroded. The continental period was characterized by the formation of small fans at the slope foots. The fans contained substantial quantities of andesite clasts thanks to the fans' close location to the andesite source rocks. The clasts could have been then transported by periodic streams along the valleys. The Late Eocene transgression reworked accumulated terrestrial sediments.Important hills
