Pázmánd is a village in Fejér county, Hungary. Situated between Lake Velence and the quartzitic tors of the Velence Hills, it covers 27.1 km2 (10.5 sq mi) of gently rising loess and ancient granite, approximately 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from the lake shore and 50 kilometres (31 mi) south-west of Budapest. The village is home to the Pázmándi Quartzite Rocks Nature Reserve, a dramatic mini-gorge carved through 37-million-year-old volcanic quartzite that features sculptural rock formations and Mediterranean relic plants. With a growing population that increased from 1,989 in 2001 to 2,313 in 2022, Pázmánd maintains its historical connection to viticulture through local micro-wineries producing the community blend Könnyűvér, while also developing tourism around its geological features, historical sites and position within the Velence Hills' "Volcano Country" hiking network.
