Kőtenger Trip
Fountainebleau quality sandstone blocs, the 'hungarian paradise' could be a dream if it was a bit bigger. Still one of my favourite places to go.

Szentbékkálla Stone Field
On the edge of the Káli Basin, in the region spanning from Salföld through Kővágóörs to Hegyestű, there’s a unique natural site: a stone field that is just like a sea of stones. The largest and most intact stone mass, located just outside Szentbékkálla, used to be buried in the seabed of the Pannonian Sea and it is the most important geological sight of the Káli Basin.
The field includes stones that are the size of a smaller house and ones with weird shapes. Until the end of the 19th century, the “fruits” of the field were used for making millstones – Kővárgóörs, situated on a nearby stony plain, was named after this practice. A famous attraction of the region is the Ingókő (Swaying Stone), a gigantic, flat block of stone that can be tipped if you stand on its edge. You can reach the stone field and the Ingókő on a roughly 600-metre long dirt path starting at the cemetery on the edge of the village.

Trip to Balaton Uplands 2. Land of stones - Kirándulás a Balatonfelvidéken A kövek földje
Continue our trip to Balaton Uplands in Hungary. (HQ and headphones are recommended.)
Balatonudvari
The settlement has been in existence since the 11th century. The Catholic church has been standing since the 13th century. Besides the church is a cemetery with heart-shaped tombstones. The cemetery is under the protection of the Hungarian National Trust. The tombstones were carved from white limestone in the 18th-19th centuries in peasant Baroque style. The following legend is found in the book Golden Bridge by Gábor Lipták: There was a stonemason who once came to Udvari from the mountains. In the village, he met the daughter of a fisherman and fell in love with her. He wanted to marry her. The girl however was drowned in Lake Balaton during a storm. The man then carved heart shaped tombstones in memory of the girl.
Hegyestű
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 material of the now strictly protected wall of basalt columns was once quarried by hand. From the top of the split basalt cap, there is a marvellous view over the Kál Basin and Lake Balaton. The exhibition areas display the life of the volcano, the history of the local basalt quarrying and the natural values 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.
Szentbékkálla
There are interesting natural rock formations to be found to the west of the village. This is the Kőtenger (Stone Sea), which is a large area covered with huge stone blocks.
Nagyvázsony
In Roman Pannonia, and later in the Hungarian Middle Ages, Nagyvázsony stood at the crossing point of important routes. A castle was built here in the 15th century by the noble Vezselyi family, and the tower where the living quarters were located is still standing. After the family had died out, in 1472 King Matthias presented the castle to Kinizsi Pál, a young miller who fought heroically against the Turks.
