The Aggtelek Karst shows different faces in different seasons. When snow blankets the hillsides, or if fog sits in the valleys, the mountainous environment is palpable. The tour includes the heights of Szád Castle. From the lofty castle ruins you get a real sense of the topography and landscape. If ice and snow happen to prevent the tour from taking this route, your guide will bring you on an alternative path to the hucul horse pasture, giving you a taste tracking in the wintery karst forests.

The Aggtelek National Park (and Slovak Karst) World Heritage Site’s karst surface is also marked by the workings of underground springs. The resulting subterranean steams are a constant 10˚ C, even when they reach the surface. As a result, these surface waters do not freeze. Four of these streams (Kecső, Jósva, Small and Big Tohonya) converge in the scenic village of Jósvafő. Take a tour around the historic village, the valley it rests in, and the streams and springs that have defined this unique karst landscape.
