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.
The mountain formed through volcanic activity in the distant past, fundamentally shaping the region's geology. These processes created the landscape visible in the area today.
Local communities maintain traditional hiking events on Kőris-hegy throughout the year, connecting generations through shared outdoor experiences.
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 rock layers of this mountain contain valuable information about volcanic processes from millions of years ago. Scientists use these geological records to better understand the volcanic history of the Carpathian region.
