ok, to be honest these are not my photos, i did not have a camera, but they are photos taken from the top of the Köpite, which overlooks the Danube as well as the valley that runs from the Danube, through Tata, and on south toward Tatabánya

Saturday 25 June 2011. To get to the summit we took a Roman road that was built to transport stone from a quarry down to the Danube. In places the road is about 25 feet above the surrounding terrain, a real testimony to their engineering skills. The hilltop is about 1000 ft above sea level, the Danube is around 400 ft, so it was a 600 ft climb.
