Pákozdi-ingókövek természetvédelmi terület, Protected granite rock formations in Pákozd, Hungary.
Pákozdi-ingókövek is a protected area in the Velence Mountains featuring granite boulders shaped by erosion into smooth, rounded formations across 44 hectares. The site includes multiple cycling paths and a geological nature trail established in 1994 that connects the main rock formations.
The area received official protection status in 1951 to preserve its geological structures and was later incorporated into the Danube-Ipoly National Park. This designation was crucial to safeguard the fragile landscape for future generations.
Local residents named these rounded rock formations after their shapes, calling them wool sacks, with notable formations like the Mushroom Stone, Small Loaf, Pagan Stone, and Lion Rock. These everyday names show how people in the area relate to the landscape around them.
The site is easily accessible via multiple cycling paths and suitable for moderate-paced walking. It helps to wear good footwear, as the trails cross rocky terrain and conditions vary depending on weather.
The Pagan Stone summit contains Cyrillic inscriptions from the period when the Soviet army used the area as a training ground before 1991. These little-noticed markings reveal an unexpected layer of local history.
