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. Continuous 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, leading to increasing numbers of settlements.

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.

Visit the memorial bench of Péter Kiss and Zsolt Erőss, directly behind the Kékestető monument.

Hopefully it will be looked after a bit, otherwise it won't last much longer 🫣

Visits only by appointment

Beautiful metal work and good all-round view

If you don't want to walk or you are with children, it will take you up to the upper meadow.
