The Program

There, participants can discover the edible parts of the surrounding Bükk forest during a wild plant research tour within the framework of professional guidance and a “forest stand-up.”

Expert forest guidance
Gyula Bózsó, the creator of the Edible Forest – Forest Gastroexpress program
In December 2025, Gyula Bózsó was awarded the title of Ambassador of the City of Bükk (article).
The appointment was presented by József Tóth-Szántai, Mayor of Miskolc, recognizing the professional work that strengthens the connection between Miskolc and the Bükk in a new quality by linking forest management, sustainability, and tourism.
The Edible Forest program, born in Miskolc, has now received international attention: it was included among the top three sustainable tourism initiatives of the Green Destinations Top 100. As a shared story of the city and the Bükk, it demonstrates worldwide how gastronomy, active tourism, and respect for the natural environment can be combined in an innovative way.
Optional program
