Lillafüred, caves, narrow-gauge railway, and marked hiking trails — in Miskolc, you're just minutes away from the Bükk Mountains.

Where the city ends and the Bükk begins

The unique charm of Miskolc lies in how seamlessly the city blends into nature. Starting from the city centre, you can quickly find yourself amidst forest trails, springs, rocks, caves, and breathtaking panoramas. Here, you don't have to choose between urban relaxation and nature: in Miskolc, both are part of the same journey.

Lillafüred: One of the most beautiful and renowned spots in the Bükk

The Palotaszálló and Hanging Gardens, the Szinva Waterfall, Hámori Lake, and the surrounding forests reveal a different side of themselves in every season. Travelling on the Lillafüred narrow-gauge railway is an experience in itself, as the train winds its way through the forest into the heart of the Bükk. The underground world of the area is just as fascinating as what awaits on the surface. The unique limestone formations of the Anna Cave are rare even by European standards, while the spectacular stalactites of the Saint Stephen's Cave offer a completely different perspective of the Bükk.

Put on your hiking boots and discover the Bükk!

At the Szeleta Park Visitor Centre, you can explore the natural treasures and prehistoric heritage of the mountains through an interactive exhibition. Within the Bükk National Park and UNESCO Global Geopark, marked hiking trails lead to viewpoints, meadows, springs, and forest rest areas. Whether you're up for a gentle forest walk or a more challenging hike, in Miskolc, nature is always close by.
