BÜKK MOUNTAINS £ <*> Szilvásvárad (Cemetery) - Szána Crag - Forester's Lodge of Boroszló - Nagyvisnyó Historical records mention that the Hungarian king Louis the Great liked to hunt in this area for it had a remarkably rich stock of game. It is interesting that country people has kept the remembrance of the king, and even legends were told of him. According to a popular legend this was the place from where the dying Louis was taken to Nagyszombat in 1282. The former Boroszló Farm is now surrounded by a forester's lodge, forest and pinewoods. From the glade around the lodge one may have a fine view to Dédes Castle, Gerenna Castle, and Nagyvisnyó Village, which is in Nagy-völgy ('big valley'). The close vicinity of Boroszló Farm is a good place for camping. Nagyvisnyó is a point of departure of the tourist routes that lead to Bükk Plateau. It is the best place to start from if one wants to access Bánkúti Shelter-Hut. Szilvásvárad - Szalajka Valley - Horotna Valley - Kelemenszéke - Katonasírok (Soldiers'Tomhs) - Bélapátfalva - Lake Gyári Some of the most beautiful places of excursion in the country may be found in the close and wider vicinity of Szilvásvárad. One of the best-known beauty spots of this nature conservation area (which may also be accessed by a narrow-gauge railroad that crosses the forest) is Szalajka Valley in which the ponded-up Szalajka Stream forms several glimmering fish-ponds where trouts are hatched. The thick water spout of Szikla-forrás ('rock spring') comes pouring out of the upper part of a cave in the rocks near the lake. The only Open-Air Forest Museum of the country is not far from there. The Cave of lstállós-kó' is a thirty minutes' walk from Szalajka Spring; a very intact fireplace and flint implements of the prehistoric man of the Bükk were found in the Cave. You may then go up to Istáilós-kő from there, which is the highest peak of Bükk Mountains. The Yellow route sign starts from the Open Air Forest Museum and leads you in the direction of the Soldiers' Tombs. Kelemen-széke (Kelemen's Chair) is on the way and offers a fine view to the ridge of Mátra Mountains and the dolomitic crest of Bélkő. The entrenchment called Kelemen széke was an artificial earthwork where the dwellers of the neighboring villages used to hide in war times. The Red route sign takes you to the last stage of your trip. The final destination is the lake supplying Bélapátfalva Cement Works with water, and also the beautiful surroundings of the lake. The water is unusually cold and 9 meters deep at the lock. A Cistercian church and monastery may be found in a valley enclosed by broad leaved forests not too far from the village; you may discover there the exciting mysteries of past centuries.
