Skiing facilities are available at Sátor hegy in Sátoraljaújhely where Hungary’s longest chair-lift operates. (Snow conditions vary.)

For those more serious skiers Zakopane in Poland is approximately 8 hours drive including stops.

Previous volcanic activity remains can be found scattered around the Zemplén region judging by the cones and peak like hill tops.

Sárospatak for instance has its own crater lake, Tengerszem, once used as a pummis-stone mine and Sátoraljaújhely’s Sátor hegy back in 1780 showed the last sounds of activity as worried onlookers took for their lives after hearing gurgling and whooshing sounds coming from the mountain but all has remained dormant since.
