Kissomlyó
The smaller volcanic cone in the Kemenesalja region, dating back to 3.9 million years ago, stands erect between three villages: Borgáta, Egyházashetye and Kissomlyó. It is the country’s tiniest vineyard with a modest 229 metres height that locals used to call Hegyes (pointed) Kossomlyó. Judging its structure, it is probably younger than its taller brother, Mount Ság.
It has a circular ground plan and has a flat, truncated cone shape, with steep sides and protruding shelves. These slopes are somewhat gentler than her relatives; we seldom see rocks and cliffs. On its top there is an abandoned quarry. One such gaping “crater” is a truly breath-taking sight.
Its area – including its plateau – is covered by vineyards; there are only a few spots of woodland here and there. The hill is very similar to Nagysomló, and the wines made on this smaller hill have the same taste, character and composition of minerals.
One of the major sights here is the giant basalt cliff atop the hill where one of Hungary’s kings, Béla IV stopped (now called Királykő – Kings’ Stone) when fleeing from the Mongols in the 13th century. The plaque on the side of the rock attests to this fact. Legend has it that the last monk of the monastery that used to work here put up King Matthias here for the night.
