Kőris-hegy

Kőris-hegy, Volcanic mountain in Hungary.

Kőris-hegy is a volcanic mountain in Veszprém County that reaches about 700 meters in height. Its slopes display varied rock formations and natural terrain shaped by ancient volcanic activity.

Kőris-hegy is the highest point of the Bakony at 709 m, in Veszprém County within the Magas-bakonyi Landscape Protection Area, 5 km northeast of Bakonybél. Its Odvas-kői-barlang cave has been under archaeological protection since 1951 and strictly protected since 1982; the name Oduaskw appears in a 1037 charter of King Stephen I, the earliest written Hungarian place name referring to a cave. In 1976 a long-range radar station for civil air traffic control was built on the summit, operated by HungaroControl.

The name comes from the ash (kőris) forests covering its slopes. The Odvas-kői cave below the summit appears as Oduaskw in a 1037 charter of King Stephen I, the earliest written Hungarian place name referring to a cave; it has been protected since 1951 and strictly protected since 1982. The Országos Kéktúra long-distance trail crosses the summit.

A network of marked paths allows hikers to ascend from several starting points across the area. It is best to wear sturdy footwear and clothing suited to weather conditions.

The Odvas-kői-barlang on the mountain's slope appears as Oduaskw in a 1037 charter of King Stephen I, the earliest written record of a cave name in Hungary. It has been under archaeological protection since 1951 and strictly protected since 1982 for its scientific history.
