[edit]- 1 Erdőtelek — Butler Mansion and Arboretum, Alder marshes of Erdőtelek
- 2 Mezőcsát — 35 km from Miskolc, this village has two country houses (more than hundred years old), and a Reformed Church with coffered ceiling
- 3 Lake Tisza (Hungarian: Tisza-tó) — Also known as Kisköre Reservoir (Hungarian: Kiskörei-víztározó). This is the largest artificial lake in Hungary. Following the reservoir's completion, Hungarians began to flock to the site for holidays, since it compared favorably with the crowded and expensive Lake Balaton, the traditional holiday site. The lake (or reservoir) has a new local ecology with a diversity of birds, plants, and animals.
