Hollókői Protected Landscape Area

The protected area spans 141 hectares across the northern part of Central-Cserhát volcanic massif, featuring narrow hills and elongated volcanic formations.

The territory gained official protection status in 1977 and later became part of the UNESCO World Heritage site along with Hollókő Old Village in 1987.

The landscape reflects centuries of agricultural traditions of the Palóc people through carefully maintained pastures and managed forest areas.

Visitors can explore marked trails leading to Hollókő Castle, with paths circling Várhegy hill and connecting to educational nature routes.

The area contains a natural spring at Vár-hegy's southern foot that produces iron and manganese-rich carbonated water used since medieval times.
