Northern Hungary

Mátra

Hungary's highest peak, forests and a wine region.

The volcanic Mátra range rises north of Gyöngyös and includes Kékestető, the highest point in Hungary. Forest trails, lookout towers, small resorts and the vineyards of the Mátra wine region on its southern slopes make it a popular getaway from Budapest.
