Lillafüred Waterfall and the Palace Hotel
Like a castle from our childhood fairy tales… An unmissable experience awaits with the Lillafüred Waterfall, the Palace Hotel, and the Hanging Gardens with their 6 thematic terraces, offering unparalleled sights in every season! The Lillafüred Palace Hotel was built between 1927 and 1930 in Neo-Renaissance style, and towering over Lake Hámori, it is Lillafüred's most iconic building. It is a symbol of the region, where writer's congresses and cultural events were once held. The Lillafüred Hanging Gardens were built in terraces below the hotel. They feature unique thematic sections (such as the Poetry, Music, and Sculpture terraces), making them one of the most beautiful spots for romantic strolls in the Bükk Mountains. The Lillafüred Waterfall is Hungary's highest vertical waterfall, approximately 20 meters high. Interestingly, it was artificially created during the construction of the Palace Hotel, yet it blends perfectly into its natural surroundings. In winter, it often freezes into a spectacular ice curtain. It holds a unique literary significance as Attila József wrote his poem 'Ode' here; in the Hanging Gardens, his statue and an excerpt from the poem can be seen carved into the rocks.
