Directions if Travelling by Car
 From Budapest there are several options, depending on how scenic you would like your route:

1.Take the M3 to the M30 following that to Miskolc. The M3 highway is a toll road (stickers can be purchased at any benzine station or on-line). Then follow signs through Edelény–Szendrő—Szalonna-Perkupa. Beyond Perkupa there is a turnoff to the left towards Aggtelek and Jósvavő. Follow this through Szín to Jósvafő. Just past the village of Jósvafő you can choose to bear right towards the Baradla Cave entrance and Tengerszem Hotel, or bear left towards the Red Lake Visitors Centre and Cave entrance and onwards to Aggtelek. If you choose Jósvafő, follow the winding road uphill until it branches – bear right to the parking lot. The ticket office is up the stairs just to the left of the Tengerszem Hotel.
 
The Red Lake Visitors Centre is half way between Jósvafő and Aggtelek on the left, following the left road branch towards Aggtelek.
 
If you are heading to the Aggtelek entrance, just follow the left fork all the way to the village of Aggtelek. Head straight through the village centre on the main road, and turn right at the petrol station and sign for the Cseppkő Hotel. Follow this road straight, past the Cseppkő Hotel,  and you will come to a line of shops and a parking lot on the left. The ticket office and cave entrance is accross the street by the cliff face.
