Hungarian AlpA hungarian friend of mine used to underline that the east end of the Alps is not in Austria neither Slovenia, but Hungary... Except that we shouldn't say "Hungarian Alps" but "Hungarian Alp" ! :)
Any pics from this region ?

Re: Hungarian AlpWell, the are along the western border is often referred to as "Alpokalja", which stands for "feet of the Alps". There are a few small mountain groups (Kőszegi-hegység/Günser Gebirge, Soproni-hegység/Ödenburger Gebirge) but the rest are really just hills. Thus, the word "Alp" is definitely not the first thing that one might associate with this area, despite the geological connection. The highest point of this region, Írott-kő, is included in the list.
Have a look at this page as well.
Photos: from me not, I haven't hiked in this region yet...

Mátra and KékesSzia Péter,
I created a site "Mátra and Kékes". I think that your site "Hungarian National Highpoints" should be the parent of my site. But I don't find how to create this link.
And in addition to it, I think that you may insert links from the text of your site to the new Mátra site where the word "Mátra" is mentioned
Üdv, Szani

Re: Mátra and KékesSzia,
Great to see the new page! I took care of the parent link. Also included a link in the list for Kékes, as the page is mainly about the mountain at the moment (similarly to my Prédikálószék page).
Üdv: Péter
