The Mátra is part of the North Hungarian Mountains and belongs by origin to the largest young volcanic zone of Europe. It is situated between the valleys of the River Tarna and River Zagyva. The Mátra divided into the Western Mátra, Central Mátra and the Eastern Mátra. The highest point of the Western Mátra is Muzsla (805 m). The Central Mátra consists of the plateau of Mátrabérc (Mátra Ridge) and the groups of the volcanic cones of Galya-tető (964 m) and Kékes (1014 m). Steep, rugged slopes, screes, talus slopes and slides alternate with one another, covered with closed beech forests. Gentler slopes and parallel valleys flow down to the south, the largest of which is the so-called Nagy-völgy ("Great valley"). The 'main entrance' to the Mátra was formed in parallel with the valley of Nagy-patak ("Great stream"), ranging from Mátrafüred to Mátraháza. From the vineyard-covered landscape of the foot of the Mátra travellers can arrive at the wooded mountains in a flash. To the east, after the steep escarpment of the 898-meter-high Sas-kő ("Eagle stone"), the 650–750-meter-high peaks of the Eastern Mátra follow one another. The northern part of the mountain range is called Mátralába ("the Mátra's feet"). This is a hilly area covered with 250–400-meter-high small volcanic cones, with mostly cultivated arable lands.

[de] Mátra-Gebirge

Das Mátra-Gebirge ist ein Mittelgebirge in Nordungarn. Das zwischen den Flüsschen Zagyva und Tarna liegende, hauptsächlich aus Trachyt aufgebaute Gebiet bildete im austrocknenden Pannonischen Meer lange Zeit eine Insel. Die höchste Erhebung ist der Kékes mit 1015 Metern auch der höchste Berg Ungarns. Wichtigstes urbanes Zentrum des Gebietes ist Gyöngyös, eine Stadt mit annähernd 35.000 Einwohnern; sie ist nach Eger die zweitgrößte Stadt des Komitats Heves, in dem das Gebirge liegt. Im Osten schließt sich das Mittelgebirge Bükk und im Westen das Hügelland von Cserhát an das Mátra-Gebirge an.
