Gerecse Protected Landscape Area, Landscape park in Komárom-Esztergom County, Hungary.

The Gerecse Protected Landscape Area is a natural region in Komárom-Esztergom County with forests, hills, valleys, and limestone formations. The terrain varies from wooded slopes to more open spaces, with streams and springs flowing through the different elevation zones.

The Gerecse hills were formed 200–150 million years ago as Triassic and Jurassic blocks, later broken along faults into a block mountain. Red limestone from the Nagy-Pisznice quarry, known as piszke and tardos "red marble", was probably already worked by the Romans and certainly under Sigismund of Luxembourg and Matthias Corvinus, and was used in buildings such as the Visegrád Palace. The landscape protection area covers 8,739 hectares, of which 1,365 are strictly protected, and is managed by the Duna-Ipoly National Park Directorate.

Vértesszőlős, at the foot of the hills, holds a 500,000-year-old prehistoric settlement site, one of the world's rarest archaeological finds. In the heart of the range, excavations at the medieval village of Kovácsi have uncovered an Árpád-era church, its cemetery and a later noble manor house. Pusztamarót was the site of the Marót battle after Mohács.

Visitors can walk on multiple trails that connect different parts of the protected area and its natural features. Some zones have restricted access, so it is worth checking local guidelines before planning your route.

The red limestone quarried at Nagy-Pisznice, known as piszke and tardos "red marble", was probably worked in Roman times and certainly under Sigismund of Luxembourg and Matthias Corvinus; it was used in the Visegrád Palace. The caves include the Jankovich-barlang and the Szelim-lyuk.
