Büdös-pest, Cave system in Miskolc, Hungary.
Büdös-pest is a cave system in Miskolc with an extensive network of passages. The chambers contain high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide, which gives the entire system its distinctive smell.
The cave system formed in limestone and shows evidence of human presence from the Stone Age. Archaeological excavations have uncovered tools and remains from prehistoric times.
The cave system forms part of the Bükk National Park, where local schools conduct educational programs about geology and natural heritage.
Visiting requires safety precautions and permits due to the concentration of natural gases inside. Conditions underground remain consistent, so proper equipment and preparation are important.
The cave system is used for speleotherapy treatments, where visitors utilize the specific conditions to address respiratory issues. This therapeutic use of the natural setting is less known than the site's archaeological importance.
