Hortobágy National Park, National park and UNESCO World Heritage Site in eastern Hajdú-Bihar County, Hungary.
The national park extends across 800 square kilometers of protected grasslands, wetlands, and marshes that form the largest semi-natural grassland in Europe.
The area gained national park status in 1973, marking Hungary's first designated national park, and received UNESCO World Heritage recognition in 1999.
Traditional Hungarian shepherds, known as csikós, maintain centuries-old practices of managing horses and cattle herds across the expansive plains.
Visitors can explore marked hiking trails, participate in birdwatching activities, and observe 342 different bird species throughout the various ecosystems.
The park contains a network of traditional T-shaped sweep wells and the Nine-holed Bridge, while also functioning as a dark sky preserve for stargazing.
