19. UPPONY GORGE, LÁZBÉRC LAKE

The Uppony Mts. are located in the northern part of the Bükk Region, clearly separated from the Bükk Mts. The southwestern part of the mountain range consists of ancient rocks that have been lifted up along fault lines.

Between Uppony and Dédestapolcsány, the Csernely stream, which has cut into the fault lines, has created one of the most spectacular gorges in the country. The light gray limestone walls of the Uppony Gorge reach a height of 50 m. There are 25 caves in the karst-prone limestone.

The peak offers a beautiful view of the Lázbéri Lake, created by damming the Csernely and Bán streams in the southern part of the gorge.

The area is part of the Lázbérc Landscape Protection Area. It can be visited freely via the tourist trail.
