In this video we’ll show you guys the Valley so you can get inspired for a visit! It is a true Natural Treasure of Hungary! The Szalajka Völgy (Valley) is right next to the town of Szilvásvárad and it is part of the larger Bükki National Park (Bükki Nemzeti Park) that hosts many amazing natural treasures.
It can be reached from Budapest by public Transport in 3 hours, or about 2 hours by car. But visiting from nearby Town of Eger may also be a good approach since its less than an hour from there with public transport, or under 30 mins by car.
A local variety of trout (Pisztráng in Hungarian) is the best food choice of the area.
