Post conference events
The Aggtelek Karst is located in the northeastern corner of Hungary. It is a famous classical karstic region that became part of UNESCO's "World Heritage List" in September of 1996.
One can find the best-known Hungarian caves there. The greatest of them is the Baradla cave which is the longest in Hungary. It used to be the longest known and surveyed cave system of the world for a long time, until the early decades of the 20th century. Other remarkable caves of the Aggtelek Karst are the Béke Cave (that is the largest fully explored perennial stream cave in Hungary), Vass Imre Cave, Kossuth Cave, and Szabadság Cave. The Alsó-hegy Plateau is a unique part of the region with about 90 vertical caves (potholes). The deepest of them is the Vecsembükk Pothole. There are several caves on the Plateau other than potholes. The largest and most spectacular one of them is the Meteor Cave containing the second largest cave chamber of the country.
