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 coloumns was once quarried by hand.
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 stonepark formed by the characteristic rock types of Transdanubia. In the future centre of Bakony-Balaton Geopark a picnic area, a snack-bar and a souvenir shop await the visitors.
