Lillafüred
Lillafüred (Miskolc-Lillafüred) is a town in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, Hungary. Officially, it is a part of Miskolc, though it is almost 12 kilometres away from the city, in the Bükk Mountains. Lillafüred is a tourist resort.
Count András Bethlen of the Bethlen family, who served as Hungary's Minister of Agriculture in the 1890s, initiated the development of a holiday resort near Lake Hámori. He named it after his niece, Erzsébet (nicknamed: "Lilla") Vay, a member of the Vay family and sister of Elemér Vay, the count of Borsod County at the time. The Lillafüred Palace Hotel, a central feature of the resort, was later constructed by István Bethlen.
The Lillafüred Palace Hotel was designed by Kálmán Lux and built between 1927 and 1930 in neo-Renaissance style. One of the hotel's restaurants is named after King Matthias. Its stained glass windows show the castles of historical Hungary. The hotel is surrounded by a large park with rare plants.
The hanging gardens are below the hotel, between the streams Szinva and Garadna. The highest waterfall in Hungary, at 20 meters in height, can be found here. The waterfall itself is artificial. The internal water tubes form the "Anna Cave" at the bottom.
There are three natural caves not far from the hotel:
The artificial lake was formed in the early 19th century by the damming of the Szinva and Garadna, to supply the iron furnace with water. The lake is 1.5 kilometres long. In the summer, boats and paddle boats can be rented.
A small museum dedicated to the well-known ornithologist and polymath Ottó Herman. (Not to be confused with Ottó Herman Museum, which is in downtown Miskolc).
There are two different local legends explaining why there is a crucifix on the top of the rock. According to the better-known version, the daughter of a rich miller jumped down from the rock with her lover, the miller's poor apprentice, because her parents didn't allow them to marry. The other legend claims an old miller jumped from the rock when he learned that his young wife was cheating on him. This second version is less commonly known, but it was mentioned by the famous author Mór Jókai in one of his books.
