The
North Hungarian Mountains (sometimes also referred to as
Northeast Hungarian Mountains, Northeast Mountains, North Hungarian Highlands, North Hungarian Mid-Mountains or
North Hungarian Range, ) is the northern, mountainous part of
Hungary. It forms a geographical unity with the
Mátra-Slanec Area, the adjacent parts of
Slovakia. It is a separate geomorphological area within the
Western Carpathians. The mountains run along in Northeast Hungary, and along the eastern parts of the Hungarian-Slovak border in a broad band from the
Danube Bend to the town of
Prešov.
