Highlight • Natural Monument

A ledge at the side of the road on which a gnarled tree stands.
The place seems like something out of a fairy tale. I expect a leprechaun with a pot of gold lives in it...😏

This place can be explored starting from Jávorkút. You can go on forest paths and on a designated bike route on asphalt. I am now describing the asphalt route. From Jávorkút, you actually have to follow the asphalt road leading there until there is a fork. Here you can head back to the Lazy Valley towards Miskolc - Lillafüred, and turn right to Nagy mező. You have to go to Nagy mező, and when you reach it, you have to continue on the asphalt. There will be another fork where you have to keep right, and in a short time you will reach the Jewish Meadow where the Italian Gate is located. It is noteworthy that the asphalt we came on is actually the track of the old light railway, so there used to be a train here. It also transported stone and wood to the iconic landmark, the engine house, from where the wagons were lowered onto a funicular and then continued through Szilvásvárad towards Slovakia. The Italian Gate is famous because 150 Italian prisoners carved through the rock face here by hand so that the train could pass.

Bánkút

Highlight • Settlement

The lookout tower allows a view of the High Tatras in good visibility. Bankut itself is accessible by car, but is also a stopover on hikes over the Bükk plateau
