Hegyes-tű basalt formation

Hegyes-tű basalt formation

The basalt wall of Hegyes-tű near Köveskál village in the Balaton-Uplands National Park. Half of the hill has been mined away in the past, that's why the exposed rock.

Re: Any routes...

Unfortunatelly it is forbidden to climb here (officially). :-\ Here in Hungary we have some rocks but most of them are forbidden to climb. Bad luck.

Re: Any routes...

Yes, it's a good idea. :-) We have some climbing area but these are ridiculously small. So if we have time and money we go to abroad to climb to the surrounding countries. In 250km I can find longer climbing routes.

Re: It's simply beatiful

Well, this one is somewhat hidden. Have you seen the basalt organs at Badacsony?

Some days ago...

...I saw here on SP Liba Hardekopf's photos of the Devil's Tower in USA, and I must say this reminds me of it. If they had mined just a bit more of the basalt away, you would have a Devil's Tower in Hungary too! ;-)

Re: Some days ago...

Perhaps the whole mining activity is just a cover story, and the aim was what you pictured, only that the stamina or the funding was not enough... :)
