 The Romanian victory at Kőhalom checked the Germans long enough to ensure an almost uncontested Romanian withdrawal, save for the efforts of one German battery which had overtaken its infantry by an hour.The Germans encountered new Romanian defenses only late on 4 October, along the Western slopes of the Perșani Ridge (), in a forest known to the Germans and Austrians as the Geisterwald.Here, a new battle would begin early on 5 October.
