Hanging Gardens: The Hanging Gardens in Lillafüred is an ideal starting point to explore Miskolc and the Mountain Bükk. The garden with its terraces under the Hostel Palace conveys the cultural traditions of the city.

The terraces of the Hanging Gardens:

• The Terrace of Music – the scene of chamber concerts, solo musicians with stage and auditorium.
• The Terrace of Poetry – The meeting of writers in the Hostel Palace on 10-18 June 1933 was a significant event in the history of literature. The time József Attila spent here inspired him to write his poem “Óda” (Ode), which is commemorated by the statue of the poet and some lines of his poems carved in the stone. The statue and its surroundings is the scene of events relating to literature.
• The Terrace of the Youth and Meetings – It is the biggest area of the Hanging Gardens. It offers relaxation and a playground for children.
• The Terrace of Waterfalls – It is an upper terrace with a direct view of Szinva waterfalls.
• The Terrace of Flowers – It is a garden with beautiful flowers from spring to autumn.
• The Terrace of Sculpture – It is an exhibition area for sculptures, works of fine arts.
• Anna Lookout Terrace– It is at the bottom of Szinva Waterfalls above the Anna Limestone Cave.

Waterfalls in Lillafüred: When the hostel was being built the Brook Szinva was diverted and the highest waterfalls of Hungary was made. The brook falls from 20 metres so it is not like Niagara Falls, but it has a great atmosphere.

Lake Hámori: It is a determining part of the face of Lillafüred. Lake Fel, which was the backwater of the Brook Szinva because of the lime deposit, was the natural ancestor of Lake Hámori, which is 1,5 kilometres long and 9 metres deep. The present-day lake was created by the backwater of the Brook Garadna in 1813 to use the water for industrial purposes. It is the oldest reservoir in Hungary with a capacity of 0.4 million cubic metres. 14 permanent and 11 temporary springs flows into the lake.
