==Mountains== {{main|Alpokalja|Transdanubian Mountains|Mecsek|North Hungarian Mountains}} Although the majority of the country has an elevation lesser than 300 m, Hungary has several moderately high ranges of mountains. They can be classified to four geographic regions, from west to east: [[Alpokalja]], [[Transdanubian Mountains]], [[Mecsek]] and [[North Hungarian Mountains]]. Alpokalja (literally ''the foothills of the [[Alps]]'') is located along the [[Austria]]n border; its highest point is [[Írott-kő]] with an elevation of 882 metres. The Transdanubian Mountains stretch from the west part of [[Lake Balaton]] to the [[Danube Bend]] near [[Budapest]], where it meets the North Hungarian Mountains. Its tallest peak is the 757 m high [[Pilis]]. [[Mecsek]] is the southernmost Hungarian mountain range, located north from [[Pécs]] - Its highest point is the [[Zengő]] with 682 metres. The North Hungarian Mountains lie north of Budapest and run in a northeasterly direction south of the border with Slovakia. The higher ridges, which are mostly forested, have rich coal and iron deposits. Minerals are a major resource of the area and have long been the basis of the industrial economies of cities in the region. Viticulture is also important, producing the famous [[Tokaji]] wine. The highest peak of it is the [[Kékes]], located in the [[Mátra]] mountain range. ===Highest independent peaks=== [[File:Tajkep mderecskerol matra.jpg|275px|thumb|1.
