The northern foreland of the Central Gerecse Mountains is a complex landscape with a moderate relief and the presence of terrace remnants. To explore the hydrogeomorphic settings, the characteristics of the drainage network, several basin metrics, and geomorphometric maps were interpreted, which are the outputs of a semi-automated algorithm. Based on the results, the small catchments of the area were divided into two groups with diverse topographic characteristics and the presence of 7 terrace levels was revealed.
