Jósvafő is a village in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, Hungary, situated at the confluence of the Jósva, Kecső, and Tohonya streams. The area, now designated Aggtelek National Park, abounds with natural springs and caves. The "old village" of the settlement was declared a landmark site in 1999. The Tengerszem Lake was constructed in the 1930s to power mills and generate power, from a system in the Baradla Cave.
