Editing Hungary (section)

== Geography ==

Hungary occupies the central part of the Carpathian Basin. Much of the country consists of plains and low hills. The [[Great Hungarian Plain]] extends across the east and southeast, while [[Transdanubia]] lies west of the Danube and contains agricultural land, hill country, and Lake Balaton.

Northern Hungary contains the country's main mountain areas. [[Kékes]], in the Mátra range, is the highest point in Hungary at 1,014 metres above sea level. The lowest areas are situated along the Tisza and in the southern plains.

The Danube enters Hungary from Slovakia and continues south towards Serbia. It forms part of the border between Hungary and Slovakia before passing through Budapest. The Tisza enters the country from Ukraine, crosses eastern Hungary, and continues into Serbia.

Hungary has a temperate continental climate. Summers are generally warm, while winters are cold and can include prolonged periods of frost. Rainfall is higher in western and northern Hungary than on the central and southeastern plains.
