Nagy-Eged Hill, Extinct volcano in Heves County, Hungary.

Nagy-Eged Hill rises to an elevation of 536 meters, with limestone formations from the Triassic period visible near its summit.

The Cistercian monks who established one of Hungary's first bishoprics in Eger introduced grape varieties from their homeland to the hill's slopes.

Local legends tell of Saint Egedius, who lived on the mountain during King Stephen's reign, dedicating his days to religious meditation.

The hill features a 4-kilometer nature trail marked with red T signs, guiding visitors through botanical, geological, and zoological points of interest.

Nagy-Eged contains Hungary's highest-elevation vineyards, producing mineral-rich wines with high fruit concentration and extended aging potential.
