No.1 sustainable travel initiative and adventure program for tourists in Miskolc: Edible Forest & Gastrotrain. Plan your visit, stay minimum 3 nights, enjoy Miskolc!

🎉 Congratulations, Miskolc, Hungary (Hello Miskolc) for featuring in the Green Destinations 2025 Top 100 Story List.

"Forest to Fork: Miskolc’s Bold Step Beyond Industrial Heritage"

Miskolc, once defined by its industrial past, is undergoing a powerful transformation into a vibrant, sustainable tourism destination—thanks to the grassroots efforts of local service providers. United under the name Bükki Kör (Bükk Circle), a group of restaurateurs, hoteliers, winemakers, and entrepreneurs launched a bottom-up movement to reshape the city’s image. Frustrated by outdated perceptions, they began building a new identity rooted in gastronomy, nature, and community values. One of their most innovative initiatives, the Edible Forest program, connects forest managers with local restaurants to craft seasonal menus inspired by the Bükk Mountains’ natural bounty. This not only enhances the culinary experience but fosters awareness and strengthens local value chains grounded in ecology and tradition.
