Vas-hegy, Geographical small region in Vas County, Hungary

Vas-hegy extends between Hungary and Austria, featuring a distinct gorge formed by the Pinka River through the mountain range landscape.

The region contained mines during the Roman Empire period and later transformed into a notable wine-producing area within the Sopron wine region.

Traditional wine cellars, chapels, and ancient burial mounds spread across Vas-hegy represent the architectural heritage of local communities.

Visitors can reach Vas-hegy through road number 89 toward Narda or from the northern route 8714 beginning in Pornóapáti.

The mountain range contains rare mineral deposits including citrine, olivine, and magnetite, while experiencing a specific subalpine climate pattern.
