Ancient roads

From the Middle Ages, two significant roads led north-south across the Bükk Plateau.The so-called Road of the King starting from Eger, from the Tárkány Basin led through Egres Valley and Vörös-kő Valley to the Bükk Plateau through Toldi-kapu on the ridge of Kecskor.According to tradition, The Road of the King led to the hunting castle called Louis the Great called Gerennavár.Another of the most notable roads of the Bükk is the Turkish way, which can still be followed today. It turned to the Bikk-bérc at Tiba Foun­tain, and then it led from Várkút under the Vár Hill to Kőkapu along Csipkéskút, Táskás Ridge, Keskeny-Bükk.From there it led to Bánkút across Bánya Hill through the saddle of Kis-Kőhát and Nagy-mező.And from there down the Ördögcsúszda through huge Bronze Age ramparts of Verepce, passing by Vásárhely-parlag to the Dédes Castle.
