Fátyol waterfall

The staircase-like Fátyol waterfall, which is one of Hungary's most famous attractions, is one of the most magnificent vistas in the nation. It is truly a one-of-a-kind natural gem of Hungary, as the nation is deficient in waterfalls. When water comes into contact with limestone and flows into it, the carbonic acid in the water dissolves a little portion of the rock. When the stream exits the cave, the carbon dioxide smells and lime content that were previously dissolved in the water separate. The breach, or wasp stone, as it was once known (because to the holes), develops over the barriers in the stream bed. The water that pours on the stairs made in this manner adds to the beauty of the Fátyol waterfall. Algae, fungus, and mosses also remove carbon dioxide from the water, hastening the creation of the leg break and the construction of the steps.

The waterfall is shielded from tourists by a fence, so you can only see it from a distance. If you want to see the phenomena in nature, go to the Sebes-vz stream in the Szinva Valley, which is located in the eastern section of the Bükk Mountains: there was a steep waterfall, which consists of steeper leg-breaking stairs and was developed under wilder, natural circumstances. Such waterfalls still exist in the Mecsek Mountains. The Beinbrechdamm in the Meleg-Mányi valley is the most renowned of them, and it may also be considered in its natural condition.
