Gerecse Mountains, Mountain range in Komárom-Esztergom County, Hungary.
The Gerecse Mountains form a mountain range in Komárom-Esztergom County, stretching between Tatabánya and the Danube River, with its highest point reaching around 633 meters. The range covers a significant area with varied terrain and natural features throughout.
The Gerecse area preserves archaeological evidence from the Battle of Pusztamarót in 1526, which took place during the Ottoman expansion into Hungary. This battle marks an important moment in the region's past.
The name Gerecse comes from the Croatian word 'gore,' showing the historical ties between Hungarian and Croatian mountain terminology. Local people still recognize these linguistic roots when they refer to the hills around them.
The area features marked hiking trails for walkers and nature observers with varying difficulty levels and viewpoints. Average temperatures above 350 meters elevation are around 9.5 degrees Celsius, which helps when planning your visit.
The range consists mainly of limestone formations that create a landscape covered by forest at about 70 percent. Oak, hornbeam, and beech trees dominate this forest cover and shape the area's character significantly.
