HUNGARY ~ Bükk National Park ~

... Great nature views of the largest National Park in Hungary and known as one of the highest places in the country... the Park offers  impressive limestone mountains and caves, historic castles, quiet villages and friendly people... the Bukk National Park is home to numerous endangered species of flora and fauna... around ninety species of birds, including many endangered species, make their nesting ground here... mountain biking, bird watching, hiking, fishing and horse riding are some of the popular activities... there are two caves that are open to visitors as well, the Szent István Cave and the Anna Cave... the country’s longest (4,000 m) and deepest (245 m)  cave, Istvánlápa, is located in the park as well... Thanks a lot Bori!【ツ】
