Baradla Cave, Aggteleki National Park
A unique – and can’t miss – natural
phenomenon can be seen in the Barad-
la Cave, or Aggtelek Karst Cave (Aggte-
leki Cseppkőbarlang). A 19 kilometres
long river meanders in the cave located
in the northern part of Hungary, right next
to the Slovakian border, nevertheless
its egregious beauty is provided by the
colourful stalactites and stalagmites,
growing in the various chambers. The first
major construction project was carried out
in 1806, and since then many more new
enclosures have been discovered in the
depth of the cave. The cave system was
inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage
List in 1995. The breath-taking, sometimes 120 thousand-year-old dropstone
formations can be visited via a one hour long trip, where the amazing scene is
accompanied by an overall guidance on the evolvement of the cave. The tour
path follows a constructed concrete route, thus no special equipment or clothing
is required to take it.

Szentbékkálla „Sea of Stones”
At the border of a small settlement
on the northern side of Lake Balaton,
approximately a 400 ms long landline
is covered by boulders in the size of a
small house. One of the Káli Basin’s
most significant geological treasure
is the result of a former thermal spa,
since its hot water concreted the white
sand typical for the area. The stones
were shaped to their present forms by
the wind, which due to their large quantity are called “sea of stones”. Those
who like excitements can climb on top of Ingókő – if they step on the very
edge of the stone plate, it will slightly tilt. This is an easy to access area
that is wonderful to wander around, while it provides unique panorama to
the spectators.
