Bükk National Park

The Bükk National Park (in Hungarian: "Bükki Nemzeti Park") is a national park in the Bükk Mountains of Northern Hungary, near Miskolc. It was founded in 1976 as the third national park of the country. It contains 431.3 km² (of which 37.74 km² is under increased protection). It is the largest national park of the country with mountains and forests, situated in the Northern mountains, between Szilvásvárad and Lillafüred. The most important sighs include the various karst formations of the limestone mountains: caves that used to be inhabited by pre-historic men, swallow-holes, ravines.

The Vatican Climate Forest is to be located in the Park. Donated by a carbon offsetting company, it is to be sized to offset the Vatican's carbon dioxide emissions for 2007. [ [http://www.physorg.com/news103554442.html The Vatican to go carbon neutral] ]
