This village situated at the foot of the Bükk Mountains is an ideal starting point of short and long tripsWe can take a pleasant walk or ride a bicycle in Bogács, too. We can visit Hintóvölgy (a valley) and see the wine cellars and the five-socket beehive stone. We can have a picnic at the fishing lake or under the old trees of Jács Valley. If we come back from there we can also see the Millennium lookout tower on the same day. Those who like longer trips can go to the nearby forests and villages. And finally those who insist staying in their cars should know that Bogács is an ideal starting point of single centre trips.
Every Friday an organized bike trip starts to the sights of the surroundings from the Tourist Information Office, where you can rent a bike if you need one. Every Wednesday a village walk starts from the same place. Detailed information about it later. And now some tips for trips to the nearby stone relics.
