Be explorer!

The Medves Photo Marathon, one of the most important, most prestigious event of Karancs-Medves region, will be organized between 3 and 5 June 2016.

In Hungary, Medves features the most medieval castle ruins (on the basis of the surface of the area) and here lies the biggest basalt plateau of Central- Europe. With the area of Karancs, it is considered to be the center of „Palotsland”. The 550 meter high plateu looks pretty similar to a great plain „puszta”, but with Carpatian-look deep valleys and with the wildlife of high mountains. Brown bear seems to feel like settling down here again in 21st century. Hungary’s highest coal mines were here, and also cobblestone used to cover the streets of Budapest was carved here. Rivers Zagyva and Tarna arise from in this land.

Europe’s first cross-border geopark (Novohrad-Nógrád UNESCO Geopark) has been founded here. Medves is one of the most diverse and most beautiful landscapes of our country – and is almost completely unknown and undiscovered yet. Its climate is subalpine, its wildlife and fauna is diverse, the cliffs are spectacular, the people are friendly, the sunset is majestic, the scenery is stunning.

Come with us to Medves Photo Marathon to take photos on this scenery!
