On Monday (August 17) we took a long day trip.
Frist we went to Bélapátfalva. There's a lake there and an old, 10th century chapel.
Also, the hill has been a rock mine which is now closed but it looks very insteresting and beautiful.
From there we went to Szilvásvárad. We took a long walk to the Szalajka Valley to see the famous waterfall. It's called the "Weil."
Sadly, due to the dry summer there was hardly any water in the small stream.
We had trout, which is breeded there in small ponds but is also a native fish, for lunch and went over to Egerszalók.
There is an excellent spa and wellness resort there and bathing after 5 pm is discounted.
The bath resort is open until 9 pm in the summer. Outside the resort there are small ponds of hot water, much like in an onsen. This is open until 11 pm in the summer and is also open in wintertime. There's a mineral salt hill nearby and in the wellness resort there's a small artificial lake around the outside pools with colorful koi carp and white waterlilies.
