Lillafüred Essentials
Lillafüred, located in the Bükk Mountains, is centered around the neo-Renaissance Palace Hotel and the Hámori Lake. This list includes Hungary’s highest vertical waterfall and three distinct caves: the travertine Anna Cave, the dripstone Szent István Cave, and the prehistoric Szeleta Cave. Visitors can explore the terraced hanging gardens, ride the historic narrow-gauge forest railway, or take the chairlift to the Jávorhegy plateau for panoramic views from the Zsófia Look-out Tower.
