Szabolcs earthwork, Medieval hillfort in Szabolcs, Hungary.
The earthwork spans several hectares with high defensive walls made of compacted soil and incorporates deep surrounding trenches for protection.
The fortification was constructed in the 9th century under the leadership of Szabolcs, who selected this strategic location along the Tisza River.
The site represents early Hungarian defensive architecture and serves as a testament to medieval military engineering in the Carpathian Basin.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by taking regional buses from Nyíregyháza to Szabolcs village, with regular connections throughout the day.
The earthwork required clearing 5 to 6 square kilometers of forest land during its construction, transforming the entire local landscape.
