... Great new Hungarian National Park and UNESCO site... the largest protected area in the country... a unique example of the harmonic interaction of man and nature... in Western Europe, similar areas have disappeared long ago due to intensive agriculture....here the shepperds still live in the wild with Hungary’s famous Grey cattle as they lived hundreds and even thousands of years before... the village of Hortobágy is the centre of the park, here you find the visitor centre.....large parts of the WHS are protected and can only be visited with a special permit and a guide, but there are three trails where the National Park is accessible...it is mostly famous for its beautiful landscapes and the different species of birds that inhabit the area... part of the national park is a dark sky preserve... Thanks a lot Bori!! ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿
The first Hungarian national park (established in 1973), with a protected area of 82 thousand hectares rich with folklore and cultural history. The Largest Semi-Natural Grassland in Europe which means that it was not formed as a result of deforestation or river control.
Hortobágy is the plainest part of the Great Hungarian Plains and it is part of the Tisza Plain of eastern Hungary. It is surrounded by settlements to the south, east and west.
The landscape features the following manmade structures:
-Early Bronze Age burial mounds (kurgans)
-low mounds (tells) that mark the sites of ancient settlements
-bridges, among which the Nine Arch Bridge (the longest stone bridge in Hungary)
-csárdas (18th and 19th century)
Hortobagy (or the Puszta in Hungarian) is a Unesco World Heritage site since 1999.

ReplyDeleteThe Hungarian grey cattle breed is a true Hungaricum, an indigenous,legally protected lovestock of Hungary. It is one of the most famous hungarian features of the whole world. Traditional herding technology-an extensive goulash keeping and cultural heritage built on hundreds of years of tradition is combined with a Hungarian Grey Cattle certificate of origin that meets the expectations of the age.
