The most popular are short tours on fully groomed and illuminated routes that last about an hour. For the more demanding, there are also variants in which the tour lasts up to 5 hours and takes place in the light of the headlamps. In addition, there are three other interesting caves available to tourists in the park, i.e. the Cave of Peace, Rakoczi and Imre Vassa. The area, thanks to the varied landscapes, is also perfect for hiking, biking and horse riding trips. There are numerous hiking trails in the park.
