Aggtelek National Park is a national park in Northern Hungary, in the Aggtelek Karst region. The most significant values of the national park are the special surface formations and caves in this limestone landscape. The park consists of 280 caves with different sizes. It covers a total area of 198.92 km2. The largest stalactite cave of Europe is situated here: the Baradla cave, 26 km long. A significant part of the cave has varied colors and shapes providing an unparalleled spectacle of decorative stalactites. The cave has a natural entrance at Aggtelek, at the foot of a high white cliff that overlooks the edge of the village. The Aggtelek National Park itself was founded in 1985. It has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 1995 along with the Slovak Karst caves.
