Other · Sátoraljaújhely · Zemplén Kalandpark
An adventure park on the hills above Sátoraljaújhely with zip lines, a summer bobsled run, a chairlift and a pedestrian suspension bridge opened in 2024.
The main draw is the pedestrian suspension bridge branded Zemplén723 (Hungarian name: Nemzeti Összetartozás Hídja), opened on 4 June 2024: the operator gives a span of 723 m and a height of 84 m above the Malom stream, while Hungarian press reports about 700 m and 80 m. You will also find zip lines, a 2.2 km summer bobsled run, a 1,332 m chairlift, a cabin ropeway, rope courses, a climbing wall and a lookout. The park is only a few kilometres from the Slovenské Nové Mesto border crossing, and prices are in Hungarian forints.
