Büdöskút rest stop, Szent Miklós fountain

The rest stop is in the heart of the hills at a cross point of many tourist paths. The Büdöskút forest house, and the Büdöskút and Szent Miklós fountains are in the close vicinity. There is a forestry arboretum, established by Károly Horváth silviculture engineer in 1937 and further developed in 1954. There are tables and benches, an information board, and a shelter.Szent Miklós Valley is one of the most romantic valleys in the hills. The fountain used to be affluent, but, due to droughty summers, it nowadays delivers less water.
On the hillside above the fountain there used to be a Pauline monastery and church named after St. Nicholas, which used to be called Vállusszentmiklós. In the 1930s the ruins looked like piles of stone, now there are hardly any traces of the former buildings.
