The Aggtelek National Park was established on January 1, 1985, as the fourth national park in Hungary and the first to be created specifically for the conservation of geological and karst natural values, surface formations, and underground caves.
The national park celebrates its 40th anniversary this year and will have special events. Read more on Hungary Today, 20 Jan 2025.
I went to Aggletek in 1983 for the cave rescue conference. I wrote a blog in 2015 as part of my travels through Hungary, but am reposting photos here. Unfortunately I only took a couple of photos inside the cave, at the Baradla end.
