Szilvásvárad is definitely beautiful a tourist spot

Szilvasvarad is a village in Northern Hungary Region. It's a famous location because of the Fatyol-waterfall and the Istallos-ko cave. The Istallos-ko cave is a site of archaeological importance because the fauna, consisting of 66 species, found in the Ice Age layers is the richest of the Aurignacian excavations in Europe; 3 new mammal and 20 new bird species were described from its microfauna. Among the oldest pieces of jewelry in the world are the two amulets made of bone, drilled and hung on a string found here. The bones of the following Ice Age animals were found: reindeer, cave bear, bison, woolly mammoth, cave lion, wolf, cave hyena, and ibex. In the cave a nearly 80-pound hearth was discovered, which was transported to the archaeological department of the National Museum. In the hearth, among the pottery fragments of the Bükk culture, jewelry made of sea shells and the broken, roasted bones of twenty-seven young people were also found. The more than two hundred bones are unique evidence of ritual cannibalism. The other site, the Fatyol-waterfall is a waterfall consisting of 17-18 steps created by limestone dams from karst springs. Apart from the waterfall and the cave there are many things to do and visit: Kalapat look out tower, Wood railway of Szilvásvárad, Horse museum, Lipizzan stud farm for horse riding, Protestant round church and Erdődy-Pallavicini-castle, forest school for children. It's a hiking center to walk in Virgin forests. #travel #forest #cave #waterfall #horseriding
