Three-cave adventure PDF Nyomtatás E-mail

As Aggtelek National Park has rightly earned its fame for spectacular caves, we have created our program to ensure full enjoyment of this underworld. Besides a great spa experience, the stunning views from a traditional horse-drawn carriage or walking and climbing (also inclusive in the program), let the caves play the leading role. We would like to give you the opportunity to see the fascinating dripstone formations, or one of the most enormous stalagmites in Europe ”The Observatory”, to listen to some beautiful music in the ”Hall of the Giants”, or to enjoy the incredible colours and lights in Dobsina Icecaves.

The three-cave adventure refers to three different types of caves to discover: an icecave (Dobsina Icecave, which brings you back to the ice age with its beautiful lights and colours and where you had better get layered up), a dripstone cave (Baradla Showcaves, the sixteen-mile long dripstone wonderland with breathtaking halls, tunnels and dripstone formations), an aragonite cave (Ochtinska Aragonite Cave presents a unique underground phenomenon with the diversity of the aragonite formations).

Day one: Would it be a great idea to start with a taster session of Hungarian cuisine, all meals are cooked the traditional way and there will be a bit of Palinka to go down with it

Day two: Dobsina Icecaves and Ochtinska Aragonite Cave in Slovakia, breathtaking views and a rather chilly experience

Day three: In the morning sightseeing in Miskolc, an optional program can be a wine-tasting session in an amazing traditional wine cellar. It is not only a wine tasting session, but also the Hungarian wine regions are on display, along with a guided tour in the endless tunnels of a traditional Hungarian wine cellar (the wine cellar as an optional program comes with a 12Pounds extra/person) In the afternoon we will visit the cave spa in Miskolctapolca, a unique opportunity to enjoy the spa underground.

Day four: Baradla Showcaves with one of the most enormous stalagmites in Europe ”The Observatory” and the music in the ”Hall of the Giants” in the afternoon you can enjoy the views from a traditional horse-drawn carriage as a stud of Hucul horses graze free in the valleys

Day five: Walking and climbing up to the Fortress of Szád and a bit of the XIII Century Hungarian history. Later a walk to the ”ghost village” of Derenk, which had its fate with Admiral Horthy during World War II as the story goes. Rolling hills, valleys, leafy riversides and crystal clear springs.

Day six: A visit to the showrooms of Pista bácsi: the owner, our much loved elderly man gives you an insight of the peasants' life of the 19th century in Hungary. In the afternoon there is a walk in the Aggtelek National Park to the lake Menes.

Day seven: a daytrip to Kosice in Slovakia. Kosice is the second largest town in Slovakia. The town is beautiful with a vibrant Hungarian history.  The centre is dominated by the XIII Century Cathedral of the Arpads (the Arpads were the most influential Hungarian Royal Family). Our leader of the revolution against the Habsburgs, also prince of Transilvania - Ferenc Rakoczi II - is buried in the crypt of the cathedral. He was so influential and inspirational that his home in Rodosto, Turkey during his exile was transported to Kosice now on show for visitors today.

Day Eight: After breakfast our minibus will pick he group up and head to the airport.
