Travel Bugs are welcome.
We are inviting you to a lesser know, therefore more quiet and untouched part of the Mecsek mountain. This area is part of the Mélyvölgy-Melegmány karst. It's known for its unique flora and fauna, sinkholes, small caves, high number of springs and creeks.
The rock formation called Köfülke (Stone Cabin) can be found at the edge of a smaller, steep cliff. There is also a cave here, but its entrance is nearly completely covered by the debris that has been sliding down the hill. The cave with its 61 m (66 yd) length is the 16th longest cave in the Mecsek. Hydrological studies proved that it is connected to the nearby Kite spring (Kánya forrás). Besides the Kite spring that has three pipes to manage the large water output, there are some other smaller springs nearby, such as the Mariska and the Gyula spring. You will also find a rain shelter and picnic area here (see waypoint).
How to get there:
Shorter route: after leaving Pécs on Route 66, about 2 km (1.2 miles) from the city sign, there is a road to your left (the only road that goes left) that leads to Lapis. Take this road and park on the side at the suggested coordinates (see wayponts). Find the trail marked with and follow it for about 1,5 km (0.9 miles) until it leads yout to the rock formation (Köfülke in Hungarian).
Longer route: Drive on Route 66 until the village of Mánfa. After passing the village park at "Kölyuki betérö" (see waypoint). Find the trail and follow it for about 5 km (3,1 miles).
We recommend the longer route as this gives you the chance to see the real beauty of the Deep valley (Mélyvölgy), visit the Rock Hole (Kölyuk) and the Scout spring (Cserkész forrás) and find another cache (GC28YBA) on your way.
