Hungary, April 12: Lillafured and Miskolc cave pool

We drove south to Lillafured, a place built as a holiday destination in 1890. We parked at the top of the hill and walked down to the palace hotel and then to the gardens. Our object was to find the largest waterfall in Hungary, about 20 meters of cascading water.

After that we continued on to our hotel in  Miskolc . 

Typical Hungarian Village

For lunch we had strawberry cream soup,  spätzle with sheep cheese and sour cream, and palacsinta (crepes) with apricot jam. 

 After lunch we walked to the Miskolc Cave Pool.  It was a building with a labyrinth of various pool set in caves.  The largest was cool water, the smaller was slightly warmer, and the hot tub got up to 40C . There were several areas with jets that ran every hour and 2 areas with waterfalls, one which was very gentle and the other which was much more vigorous,  rivaling the waterfall in Jordan except that this one was only warm, not hot.  Every hour the jets in the main circle of the cool pond were turned on for about 10 minutes, creating a strong current so that one could basically float around the perimeter of the cave system which was a lot of fun.
