Bükkmogyorósd: local history and rest areas

The Roman Catholic church in Bükkmogyorósd was built in 1939 with public donations. The year of construction and the source of funding are two specific details about its origins, giving the village’s history a clear point of reference in time.

As part of a tourism project, a rest area with shelter from the weather, sanitary facilities, tables and benches, fire pits, and bicycle racks was created at Petőfi S. út 5. If you plan to stop there, check in advance whether the facilities are currently available for use.

As part of the completed project, a social reception and rest area was created next to the town hall in Bükkmogyorósd. Its facilities included a covered terrace, separate sanitary areas, bicycle parking, six paved parking spaces, and two permanent fire pits. The project was completed on March 31, 2023.

The rest areas created by the completed tourism project in Uppony and Bükkmogyorósd were established in connection with the popular hiking section and the route between Szarvaskő and Putnok. If you plan to combine a hike with a stop, check the current condition of the route and whether the facilities are available for use beforehand.

The Uszói Stupa is nearby, on the municipal boundary between Bükkmogyorósd and Csernely, at the source of the Uszó stream. The Uszó Buddhist Education, Culture and Retreat Center is located in a valley near Bükkmogyorósd. Its grounds include several hectares of woodland and meadows, as well as a small lake; a white stupa stands north of the building.
