The lands of the West Mecsek Landscape Protection Region offer plenty of adventure for those who want to explore them in detail. The 2,000 metre-long Abaliget Cave is the longest cave in the Mecsek Hills with a stream. Its main branch of 466 metres, which is open to visitors, was declared to be a healing cave in 2000, and is thus a popular destination for those suffering from respiratory conditions. If caves are your passion, you should definitely visit the limetuff cave in Tettye, where you can travel into the past of natural history. Make sure you visit the most interesting of the Mecsek Hills, the 592 metre-high Jakab Hill, which is known for its magical rock formations, the ruins of the Pauline Monastery and its amazing lookout points. But if you would rather explore small streams and waterfalls, the Valley of Melegmány is the place to go. Lovers of water sports should visit the lakes around Pécs: those of Orfű and Pécs are even suitable for swimming. The town of Orfű also has a waterpark that’s worth a visit, not least for the wonderful landscape that surrounds it.
