Naturally, the county itself is also a paradise for nature
lovers. Ours is one of the most diverse counties in Hun-
gary, because the Great Plain meets the North Hungarian Bükk,
Mountains here, which means that the southern part of the
county is a plain, while the northern corner is surrounded

by mountains. The highest peak of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemp- Zemplén
lén is Felső-Borovnyák, which awaits the hikers at a height
of 945 metres.

Naturally, this diverse region provides a significant part of
the National Blue Trail. 247.8 kilometres of the 1,100-kilo- Blue Trail,
metre route lead through Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County
to help hikers immerse themselves in the treasures of
nature in five sections. One such section invites you to water tour

the Bükk Mountains. The route takes you from Bánkút

through Mályinka and Uppony to Putnok on 26.3 km, and
then the fairytale world of the Aggtelek Karst enchants Borsod-Abaúj-
travellers, touching the villages of Kelemér, Zádorfalva,
Aggtelek, Jósvafő, Derenk, Szabó-pallag, and Bódvaszilas. Zemplén County –
Naturally, Cserehát also has its “blue trails”. On the 61.7 km
route, one can get to know the nature-friendly surround- Naturally
ings of Bódvarákó, Tornabarakony, Rakacaszend, Irota,
Felsővadász, Nyésta, Abaújszolnok, Baktakék, Fancsal, as
well as Abaújdevecser, Encs, Gibárt, and Boldogkőváralja.
Together, the two Zemplén sections of the Blue Trail lead
us for almost 95 km, among others, in the wonderful sur-
roundings of Regéc, Istvánkúti, Eszkála, Makkoshotyka,
Cirkálótanya, Bányi-nyereg, Vágáshuta, Nagyhuta, Bózsva,
Füzér, Nagy-Milic, and Hollóháza.
Naturally, in addition to the forests, the county is also rich
in water. The rivers of Bodrog and Tisza, and the streams

of Bódva, Szinva, Hejő, Vadász-patak, Aranyos-patak,
Ronyva, Hotyka-patak, Bán-patak, Hernád, or even Jósva
and Takta. Just a few of the streams and rivers that cross
the lands of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County. In some of
them, lovers of water sports and water tours can indulge
their passion.
