The Castle Hill of Hajnacka

Salgótarján – Szilvás-kő Geological Nature Trail

Right south of the Medves Plateau, the basalt mass of the Szilvás-kő is located extending as a ridge with a length of nearly 1.3 km. On the hill, a wide range of landforms characteristic for basaltic rocks can be observed. Its specific landforms are represented by the deep fissures resultant from mining. The nature educational trail is also supplemented by exhibition boards on forestry by the Ipoly Erdő Close Corporation.

This nature trails starts from the eastern end of Kő-köz and follows the yellow tourist path to the mouth of the Oldal Valley then crosses the driveway and from the ruins of the Carthusian monastery, approaches the Bujdosó-kő, a range of rocks exposed in the side of the Lök Crag at a steep path. Wedged into the adjacent Jurassic clay shale and radiolarite complexes, steep limestone rock walls are elevated above the ash-lime rock forests. We can continue our walk on green marked trail, which lead us back to the village on the backbone of Lök-bérc.
