Bükk Essentials

The Bükk Mountains in Northern Hungary feature extensive limestone landscapes, highlighted by the Szalajka Valley and the resort of Lillafüred. This region contains Hungary's highest vertical waterfall and unique geological formations like the Anna and István caves. Historic landmarks include the medieval Castle of Diósgyőr and the 13th-century Cistercian Abbey in Bélapátfalva. Visitors can explore the Paleolithic heritage of the Istállóskő Cave or view the Baroque architecture of the De la Motte Manor House, all connected by scenic narrow-gauge forest railways.
