Szalajka-völgy

Beautiful place to go. Lot of different locations, the open air museum, easy to walk.

The Szalajka Valley is located in Szilvásvárad . It is one of the most beautiful parts of the Bükk region and one of the best built for hikers. The high-altitude valley got its name in the 19th century from the main livelihood of the locals, from the burning of potassium carbonate (potash) called salalkali after the Latin sal alcali . The Szalajka-stream for a long time living in the wild brown trout , which is to propagate the stream bed of visszaduzzasztották several places, constructed artificial neveldéket. Trout have been farmed in the valley for about 100 years. Local specialty is smoked, fried trout. In addition, there is only one similar trout hatchery in Bükk, near Lillafüred . The Szilvásvárad Forest Railway runs in the valley . The springs of the Szalajka stream are typical karst springs with extreme water flow. The Szalajka spring bursts to the surface from a stalactite cave that can be visited in a short distance. Its water is cold, corresponding to the annual average temperature. The Rock Spring erupts from a rock fissure on the border of the watertight shale and limestone. It is a periodic spring, the water of which is one or two degrees warmer than the spring of Szalajka. From this, it is likely that it passes through deeper rock layers ( deep karst ) before reaching the surface . The main attractions of the game garden in Hungary are the mouflon (Ovis musimon) and the fallow deer (Dama dama) , which were introduced to Hungary in the 1880s . Above the springs rises the Stable Stone . Between the Stable Stone and the Tar Stone , in the part of the mountains called Virágos-sár , there is one of the sights of the Bükk National Park , the primeval forest

Very good family program.
