Normafa is part of the Buda Hills area, on the Svábhegy (Schwab Hill), close to János-hegy (Janos Hill), the highest point of the city. It's known for its panoramic scenery and fresh air. There are a number of excursions we can take from here, but it's best to carry a tourist map or GPS device, as the tourist path signs on the trees are not always in good condition and therefore sometimes not visible.

One can use the Fogaskerekű (Cogwheel Railway) to get there, whose lower station is at the Városmajor, two tram stops from Moszva tér Metro stop. The upper station is on Széchenyi-hegy (Széchenyi Hill), close to the Panorama Hotel.
