Csobánc, Volcanic hill in Tapolca Basin, Hungary.
The 376-meter-high basalt formation stands prominently in the Balaton Uplands National Park, featuring steep cliffs and exposed rock formations.
The castle atop Csobánc, built in 1255, endured multiple sieges during Ottoman wars before its eventual decline in the 16th century.
The annual Gyulaffy Days festival at Csobánc brings medieval traditions to life through performances, displays, and historical reenactments.
Two marked hiking trails from Tapolca-Diszel lead visitors through natural landscapes to reach the castle ruins at the summit.
The volcanic soil supports rare plant species including northern rock-cress and livelong saxifrage, while peregrine falcons nest among the cliffs.
