Cave dwellings, cave pens and beehive stones in Northern Hungary
In the first time the cave dwellings were hollowed in to the easily workable tuff beside the wine cellars. Nowadays in Szomolya and Cserepvaralja they function as regional peasant houses, in Tibolddaroc and Cserepfalu their renovation is planned. The rhyolite tuff cones of the so called beehive stones are covered by mysterious stone closers that were carved in the 11-14th centuries. Idol statues were placed into them, or they were used as an urn cemetery. The 12-13meter tall beehive stones in Cserepvaralja are monumental. The greatest number and the biggest ones ca be found in Szomolya. We can get acquainted with their formation conditions along the forest nature trail called "Devilstower" in Cserepfalu. We know of 72 beehive stones with 473 chambers currently in the area of Bukk. The stonpen between Kacs and Tibolddaroc was accommodation for hungreds of sheep.
