Kemenes Volcanopark - Mountain Sag

Explore the fascinating world of volcanoes and break out from the everyday-ness!

The Kemenes Vulkanpark Visitor Center opened on 22 April in 2013.  The building was built next to the mountain, and with its architectural style and theme is unique in Hungary and the nearest countries.  In the museum you can learn more about the giant power and size of volcanoes and how fast a volcano can erupt, through modern touch screens. The screens and tablets show the visitor how volcanoes look today, as well as how volcanoes looked a few million years ago.

The simulators in the Discovery hall demonstrate the power of the earthquakes and how the geysers function. In this hall, you can also try on the real protective clothing of a volcanologist. In the Room of Volcanoes you can find a model of Mount Etna and learn more about the nature of volcanoes, rocks and minerals: what they consist of, and the forms they can become. Did you know that there are many stronger examples of volcanism? Land your virtual spaceship on Mars, Venus or the Moon. In the Simulation Room, eruptions are simulated in order to forecast which areas are in the most danger. For more information and future programs please visit our website (www.kemenesvulkanpark.hu) or our facebook profile.

If you would like to know more about the Mountain Sag as well, visit the Saghegy Museum on the top of the mountain and take a walk on thegeologic path where you can find many information boards about the rocks, plants and the history of the volcano.
