History

Czárán Gyula (1847-1906) is known as the father of Hungarian tourism.

He built roads, bridges and ladders to almost every attraction in the mountains. All at his own expense. He discovered waterfalls, rock formations, karst phenomena. He had signposts and trail signs installed. He was a karst and cave explorer and discovered many caves. His bust was erected in 2008.
