Illés Relief

Illés relief is like drawing a picture of a landscape using shapes and colors. Imagine you have a big piece of paper and some markers. First, you draw the lines of mountains and hills. Then, you color them in to show where the land is higher and lower. This creates a picture that looks like a real landscape.

So, Illés relief is just a way to draw a map of an area that shows the different heights of the land. It's named after a man named Lóránt Illés, who first came up with this way of drawing maps. By using Illés relief, people can see how steep a mountain is, or how flat a plain is, just by looking at the picture. It's like a map and a picture combined!
