A world famous nature conservation area of more than 20 billion year-old fossils. A volcanic catastrophe destroyed the paleohabitat and preserved its treasures at the same time by burrying them. It is the main gateway to the world’s first crossborder geopark, the Novohrad-Nógrád Geopark. Seaside sand interspersed with shark’s teeth, huge, petrified trees from a subtropical jungle, leaf impressions of exotic plants, footprints of monsters, remains caked together in the hot flow of volcanic tuff – and all these are in situ, on display along a geological study path. The site has huge potentials for further discoveries, only a shred of the area has been excavated so far. Much of our past is still buried unexplored underneath!

As civillian volunteers, we have already helped organizing blood donations and first aid trainings, and according to the capabilities of our guesthouse we still keep on supporting the sacrificing work of the Hungarian Red Cross Nógrád County Organization.
