Extensive archaeological work since 2000 has confirmed that people lived in the Szalajka Valley as early as 40,000 years ago. The cave dwellers lived in the Istállós cave and even had contact with other tribes from the valley, some of which lived 500 kilometers away. People also lived in the idyllic valley during the Bronze Age, as evidenced by Celtic relics and an early earthwork. Nevertheless, there were no major settlements within the valley until the Middle Ages, as trade routes were difficult to establish in the heavily forested area. Permanent settlement in the Szalajka Valley began in the 14th century, when people settled in the village of Wárad, now known as Szilvásvárad. The high-quality timber served as a source of urban income even in the Middle Ages, attracting increasing numbers of people to settle there. Later, potash was also extracted from the valley, which ultimately gave the area its current name. Potash means "sal alcali" in Latin, and these words have been incorporated into the Hungarian language. Until the 20th century, the valley was only known regionally. With the construction of the Szilvásvárad narrow-gauge railway, the first tourists arrived to travel to the valley by train. Since the 21st century, however, the Szalajka Valley has become a purely tourist destination, with forestry operations remaining minimal.

Close to Szentendre, next to the asphalt road (Dömörkapu út), we find the waterfall created by the Bükkös stream, which is especially spectacular after rainy weather. We can get down the stairs next to the bridge over the Bükkös stream. It has created very beautiful shapes over millions of years, it is definitely worth coming down here for a few minutes!

A very beautiful little waterfall. Located on a circular trail.

Close to Visegrád - even a short walk away - is the Ördögmalom waterfall. It is essentially found in a small rocky gorge, with a small pond at the end. From here the Apátkúti stream continues to flow. It is worth exploring the surroundings of the stream more, because further up we can find even smaller waterfalls...

Beautiful buildings visible from Rad2eg

A waterfall that appears to be artificial. In any case, some kind of small waterworks has been built there.

Close to Bakonynána, the Gaja stream has carved a deep gorge surrounded by rock walls, which at first is a gentle stream, then continues in a waterfall. In the last part, there is a 40m long rock gorge with vertical rock walls. It is a wonderful natural environment and a great experience as we walk on the rocks and the water gushes down below us. If we are lucky, the water flow is adequate, and the plants on the rock walls also present an impressive picture. It is definitely worth coming here, because we can reach the place with an easy 2-hour round trip.
