----HIGHLIGHTS of the trip----

★Hámori lake at Lillafüred The one and a half kilometers long and nine meters deep Hámori Lake was first mentioned in a certificate issued in 1319, it was called "Feltó-halastó" (Upper fishpond) then. The present lake was evolved by increasing the water yield of Szinva and Garadna by the dam, the design of which was one of the most important achievements of 18-19th century engineering. It was needed because the water shortage of Hámori Iron Plant was becoming constant. By the time the new furnace was put into operation by Frigyes Fazola in Újmassa in 1813, the dam had already been ready. The water of the lake was used to drive the machinery of plants built under the lake. Between 1932-1944, swimming was allowed in Hámori Lake, and in the 1930s, Hotel Palota offered the facility to sailing in the lake. Boating was already available for visitors in the 19th century, and in winters, the frozen lake could be used for ice skating.

★ Miskolctapolca Cave Bath is a one-of-a-kind thermal spa. The cave system that houses the bath has been formed over millions of years by the flow of thermal water through the limestone rocks, giving the site a unique geology and ecology. The water that feeds the bath is rich in minerals that are believed to have therapeutic benefits for various health conditions. Visitors can enjoy the warm water in a network of pools, grottos, and waterfalls, with water temperatures ranging from 30°C to 38°C. The cave bath's natural beauty is a sight to behold, with colorful lights illuminating the space, creating a magical atmosphere. 

★ Fazola kohó is a historic blast furnace located in Hungary, which played a significant role in the country's industrialization during the 19th century and it was a significant employer in the region for many years. It was built in 1854 by the Hungarian industrialist András Fazola, and it operated for over a century before being decommissioned in 1969. The furnace was a state-of-the-art furnace at the time of its construction, utilizing advanced technologies and innovations in iron production. It was fueled by a mixture of charcoal and iron ore, which was fed into the furnace through a series of bellows that supplied air to the furnace. As a result of this process, they were able to produce molten iron, which was then extracted and processed into various iron products.
