Tips from the community
Get ready to delve underground at the Aggtelek National Park. In a region of high karsts and deep tunnels, this is home to some of the most amazing subterranean systems in the world. There are a whopping 280 caves in the reserve, all carved out of the soft limestone over thousands of years. One of the most amazing is surely the Baradla Cave. It’s doable in a day trip from Budapest (if you can pull yourself away from the baths there) and has colossal stalactites and speleothems of all shapes and sizes.
