Szalajka Valley & Veil Waterfall
Szalajka-völgy, Fátyol-vízesés
The most popular valley in Bükk National Park, reached by a forest narrow-gauge train, with a tiered travertine waterfall and trout streams.
Szalajka Valley extends from the entrance of Szilvásvárad village into the Bükk Mountains. Along the stream are trout farm ponds, a forest museum, and the Stone Age Istállós-kő Cave. The highlight is the Veil Waterfall, which cascades over tiers of travertine. It can be reached on foot in about 1 hour, or by a narrow-gauge forest train in about 15 minutes. A parking fee is charged at the valley entrance, the train ticket is sold separately, and winter services are reduced. It is about 30 km from Eger, roughly 40 minutes by car.
