Just 6 km from Salt Hill Apartments you will find the Eger Castle, one of the most significant buildings of Hungarian history and culture. It houses a series of fascinating exhibitions, one of the most popular of which is the Prison Exhibition.
The castle’s towering walls overlooking Eger, preserving a thousand years of memories, are a sight to behold.
You can get to the castle from Dobó Square, walking along Dobó Street, at Tinódi Sebestyén Square. Those arriving by car can choose between the free parking in front of the Gárdonyi Memorial House or the paid parking on Kossuth Lajos street.
It is a 20-minute walk from the bus station.
Szilvásvárad, in the hug of the Bükk Mountains, is a popular destination for hikers, the Szalajka Valley. The name of the valley dates back to the XIX. century, from the main livelihood of the inhabitants, the burning of potash (potash), known as salalkali. The clean air and green forest environment make it a destination for tourists. It’s a perfect activity for anyone, as you can easily walk along with a pushchair or a bicycle, while refreshing your body and soul.
For those who don’t want to walk, but would like to see the valley, the Szilvásvárad Forest Railway is a good option, as the route takes you through the valley.
You can taste the best wines of the Eger wine region on the spot, even talking to the winemakers! Set in lush green surroundings, the cellar row is the ideal place to spend a relaxed afternoon, not only tasting but also browsing and buying wine.
The Szépasszonyvölgy, with around 200 cellars today, is one of the most visited parts of Eger. Over the past decades, more and more renowned wineries of the highest level in Hungary have appeared in the valley, and as a result the range of wines on offer has become increasingly wide.
Eger, located in Heves County, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Northern Hungary. The valley is accessible by car, and visitors can leave their vehicles in a large paid car park. If the weather is good, it is worth taking the Egri Kisvonat, which departs from Egészségház street.
The Lake Tisza Ecocentre in Poroszlo uses modern, interactive tools to showcase the lake’s rich biodiversity. The central building, shaped like a soaring bird, has four floors of permanent and temporary exhibitions, a 3D cinema, a playroom and a viewing tower. Its most popular attraction is the largest freshwater aquarium system in Central Europe. In the main building you can get up close and personal with the native animals of our country.
The symbol, trademark and most popular attraction of Egerszalók is the Salt Hills, built by the hot spring of the well drilled in 1961. It is unique in Europe, and there are only two other places in the world where you can see such a natural formation, Pamukkale in Turkey and Yellowstone National Park in the US.
The mineral-rich thermal water, which flows down the hillside at a temperature of around 68°C, has built up a spectacular limestone deposit of 1,200 square metres, which is still continuously replenished today. In 1992, the 68°C water that emerged was classified as thermal water.
