Hegyestű Geológiai Bemutatóhely

Wonderful panorama of Lake Balaton, Tihany Peninsula, Káli and Tapolca Basin, exhibition about the history of the quarry and the use of basalt, million years old rock types of Transdanubia (the Western half of Hungary). The partly quarried cone of the basalt volcano provides a particular view not only from far away, but it is amazing from a short distance, too. The exhibition areas display the life of the volcano, the history of the local basalt quarrying and the natural assets of the National Park. The visitors can take part in a geological time travel by means of a stone park formed by the characteristic rock types of Transdanubia. In the future centre of Bakony–Balaton Geopark a picnic area, a snack-bar and a souvenir shop await the visitors.
