PHOTOS: Hungary’s highest point repainted in national colours
Each year, a local association takes it upon itself to repaint the summit stone of Kékes, which marks Hungary’s highest point. The paint on the stone often becomes worn from the constant stream of tourists visiting the stunning Kékes Mountain.
Local association repaints Hungary’s highest point
According to Sokszínűvidék, the summit stone of Kékes, Hungary’s highest peak, is repainted in the national colours every year, as it quickly wears down due to the thousands of tourists who visit and interact with it. The stone, a popular spot for photographs, is frequently touched and sat on by visitors. The “Városom, szeretlek” Association of Gyöngyös takes on the task of restoring the stone annually, and this year was no exception. Péter Szókovács, the association’s president and prospective mayor of Gyöngyös, recently shared news of the repainting on social media. He wrote:
True to our tradition, this year again we have made sure that the summit stone awaits visitors in a worthy condition and with a colourful display.
