Castle Hungary: Tsunami experience in Miskolc – Turizmus.com
Few cities can boast that such a wonderful mountain rises in its center as Avas in Miskolc. Today, it is not only worth going up there for the unique panorama, and this is just the beginning…
View
One of the highlights of Avas, rising above the city center, is the Gothic-style Avas Reformed Church and its separate bell tower. More than 800 wine cellars are lined up along the paths leading to the mountain, where music and toasting are becoming more common. From the observation deck of the 72-meter-high TV tower, you can admire the long-stretching city skyline, and in clear weather you can even see as far as the Tatra Mountains. Next to the observation deck, a brand new leisure park awaits the young and old of the family with various sports opportunities.

Bathing
You can choose from several spas in Miskolctapolca. In nature’s covered swimming pool, the European-famous Cave Bath, you can bathe in thermal water with a pleasant temperature coming from the bottom of the mountain, while the new Ellipsum Experience and Beach Bath, which opened next door, offers the adventure with VR glasses on its giant slides all year round.

Small train ride
The train of the Lillafüred State Forest Railway, which runs through the trees of the Bükk Mountains, provides a lasting experience. From spring to autumn, it travels in cozy, open wagons, and in winter, in closed family cars heated by stoves, which is why it passes through 20-meter-high viaducts, tunnels and the Hámori.
The whole family’s favorite is the small train ride |

Gliding
The Lillafüred cable car, which starts at 333 meters and takes passengers to Jávorhegy, 606 meters high, in 17 minutes, offers a fabulous view of Bükk. For the return trip, we recommend the Roller Trail next to the chairlift, an exciting program for all members of the family to conquer the slopes with an all-terrain scooter.

Zoo walk
We can get to know 700 individuals of more than 120 species from five continents in the zoo located next to the Bükki National Park. Walking among the trees, we meet wild animals of the Carpathian basin, exotic species, and domestic animals living in ancient Hungarian and distant landscapes.
