This stunning white limestone formation is the pride of Egerszalók. Formed by a 65–68°C thermal spring, the 1,200 m² “Salt Hill” is a rare natural wonder in Europe. At night, the hill is beautifully lit – a must-see spectacle!
Egerszalók is not only famous for its snow-white Salt Hill, healing thermal waters, flavorful wines, and unique cave dwellings – but also for its unparalleled geological treasures.
The surrounding area is dominated by formations composed mainly of rhyolite tuff, which are considered true geological rarities. Among them, the beehive stones on Menyecske Hill stand out, embodying both the natural beauty shaped by time and the historical traces carved by human hands – making them a fitting symbol of the region’s cultural heritage.
