Bél-kő, Protected summit in Heves County, Hungary
The limestone peak reaches 815 meters in elevation and features white rock formations along the western section of the Bükk region plateau.
From 1963 to 2000, limestone extraction operations removed approximately 7 million cubic meters of material, significantly altering the mountain's original shape.
The name originates from the local Bél clan, with the official designation being Bélkő-hegy, representing an important landmark in Hungarian geography.
The Bélkő Tanösvény hiking trail provides access to observation points overlooking the Bélapátfalva hills and Bükk region peaks.
The mountain base contains strictly protected Rock pink and early carnation plant species, found in only two other locations across Hungary.
