Hortobágy, National park and administrative area in Eastern Hungary

The Hortobágy area encompasses 800 square kilometers of natural grasslands, wetlands, and small woodlands in the Hungarian Great Plain.

The land formation began 10,000 years ago when the Tisza River changed its course, creating alkaline steppes shaped by grazing animals.

Local shepherds maintain traditional practices within the grasslands, using methods of animal husbandry that date back through numerous generations.

The park offers extensive hiking trails, bird observation points, and guided tours that showcase Hungarian grey cattle and native horse breeds.

The region functions as a protected dark sky area, allowing visitors to observe celestial bodies without interference from artificial light.
