Mecsek, Mountain range in Baranya County, Hungary.
The Mecsek Mountains extend across 500 square kilometers, reaching their highest point at Zengő peak with an elevation of 682 meters.
During the Iron Age, Jakab-hegy within the Mecsek range became the first significant political center in the region of southern Hungary.
The name Mecsek derives from a variation of Mihály, first documented in the 16th century when it referred to the hills near Pécs.
The mountain range divides into Eastern and Western sections, with numerous hiking trails connecting settlements like Abaliget, Pécsvárad, and Magyaregregy.
The geological composition includes Triassic and Jurassic limestone formations, supporting 30 plant species found only in the Carpathian Basin.
