    Tips

    The old pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) of Forró-kút can be approached more easily from the settlement of Sámsonháza. If you approach Sámsonháza from the main road No. 21, you have to turn right on the first street. From the end of the street, take the dirt road to the Hot Fountain vineyard on the blue sign. The area is named after a lukewarm spring nearby. It is probable that the spring water used to be not only lukewarm but also hot, because it was brought to the surface by the post-volcanic operation of the Mátra volcanism. The old tree stands alone on the edge of the clearing, its broken branches lying next to the trunk. Its age is close to 300 years and its trunk circumference is 600 cm. Its height is over 20 m, but it still rises above the high-voltage light pole nearby.
