Mineral collecting in Hungary’s most beautiful spots is back for 2025, with guided adventure tours through mountains, valleys, and hidden outcrops. It’s hands-on fun for adults, families, and kids who love nature and rocks, with trips on set dates—and custom departures for groups of 10 or more.
Fluorite country: Pákozd, Dec 7, 2025
Kick off the winter season with an easy loop hike around Pákozd in the Velence Mountains, exploring rarely visited collecting sites: surface quartz exposures and the grounds of an old fluorite mine. Forecasts call for a relatively sunny Sunday, perfect for a relaxed 3.7–4.3 mile walk while you trade indoor gloom for fresh air and rock hunting.
What you’ll find
Get to know the granite that makes up the Velence range and its rock-forming minerals like quartz and orthoclase, and pick up your own specimens along the way. The terrain is gentle and beginner-friendly, ideal for families with small children. The route is a loop, so you’ll collect as you go, stopping at promising spots rather than staying in one place.
Good to know
