What to see & do:
Szarvaskő: 20 metres from the Eco-Park entrance is one of the branches of the National Blue Hike Route along which the nature lovers can explore the varied fauna and flora of the Bükk National Park. This tour is relatively easy to accomplish. One of the destinations can be the picturesque ruins of the Szarvaskő Castle towering over the Eco-Park. You can also visit the Teréz and Mária Springs or the beautiful Gilitika Chapel which can be found deep in the woods and was renovated in 2008. In Szarvaskő guests can find the recently built Lookout Tower from which you can admire the breath taking panorama of the Bükk National Park. Going along the geological tour path which encircles Szarvaskő, only one trip is enough to discover 80% of the minerals found in Hungary. The formations called pillow lavas are especially worth having a look at.
