4 km long study trail running past the famous basalt organs of St.
George hill presents the geological history of the hill the help of
information boards in Hungarian and German (Latin names of species). The
information board on the 414 m peak helps visitors identify the

underground lake. All year round the temperature is about 18 °C in the

iránt érdeklődőként Herendre érkezik, már messziről megpillanthatja a
Herendi Porcelánmúzeum későklasszicista, kétszintes épületét. E falak
között születtek az első herendi porcelánok.
