Aggtelek National Park

The park extends across 19,000 hectares of limestone formations, containing more than 700 caves with intricate networks of stalactites and stalagmites.

Established in 1985, the area received UNESCO World Heritage status for its geological formations and archaeological evidence of continuous human presence since prehistoric times.

The villages surrounding the national park maintain traditional Hungarian crafts, local gastronomy, and seasonal festivals that connect residents with their natural environment.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails, join guided cave tours, and gather information at educational centers that provide detailed maps and exhibition materials.

The Baradla Cave system stretches over 25 kilometers through the park, featuring underground streams, halls, and mineral deposits formed over millions of years.
