Perkupa lies in the Bódva Valley, where visitors can still see its partly preserved village character. The proposed Galyasági circular tour also passes through the settlement. This offers two distinct perspectives for a stay: the village itself and a circular tour taking in several settlements.
The Galyasági circular tour passes through Perkupa
The Galyasági circular tour is 50 kilometres long, passes through ten settlements and follows paved roads throughout. It is also recommended for cycling. Perkupa lies on the proposed route; at 50 kilometres and with ten settlements, the circular tour extends beyond the village. The road surface and the specific recommendation for cycling are both useful points of reference when choosing an activity.
Village character and architectural history
Perkupa’s Reformed Church was built between 1797 and 1799 in the Late Baroque style. Its vaulted ceiling is decorated with a column-cap motif, and the vault features five plaster rosettes. The construction period and ceiling decoration offer two specific points of reference for the village’s architectural history.
The headquarters of the Galyasági Településszövetség is located in the Tájház. Perkupa therefore offers both a historic church and an institutional point of reference for the settlement association, representing different cultural aspects of the village.
A labyrinth trail open to visitors at certain times
The Bokorlabirintus ösvény, an interactive labyrinth set among vegetation, is located on the boundary between Szalonna and Perkupa. The Bódva-völgyi Madárgyűrűző Állomás is nearby. The trail is open to visitors at certain times, and visitors are welcomed during the autumn bird migration. Check current availability before your visit.

Those looking to explore the broader destination of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén will find other distinct attractions there. The Baradla-Domica cave system forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Caves of the Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst. The short Aggtelek Cave Tour is one kilometre long, takes 60 minutes and is considered easy. A nature trail connects the Aggtelek and Jósvafő entrances to Baradla Cave and introduces the area’s natural and cultural-historical values. The two cave experiences have different focuses: the tour specifies its length, duration and difficulty, while the trail focuses on connecting the entrances and the subjects it covers.
The Hucul herd on the pastures of Gergés-lápa can also be visited year-round. The pastures lie about 1.5 kilometres north of Jósvafő. As animal-keeping regulations may change, check in advance whether visits are currently possible.
When looking for a holiday apartment, the scope of your trip is a useful starting point: would you like to focus on Perkupa, with its village character, church and circular tour passing through the settlement, or include other distinct destinations in the broader Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén region? This can help you decide which destination you want to shape your stay.
