Zádor-híd és Környéke Természetvédelmi Terület, Protected nature area in Karcag, Hungary
The Zádor Bridge Nature Conservation Area is a protected zone centered on a stone bridge surrounded by expansive grassland in the Karcag region. The site encompasses open meadows and pastures that form the core of this designated landscape.
The stone bridge was founded in 1806 and opened to traffic in 1809 with nine arches spanning the water. Its design later influenced the construction of similar structures in the region.
The area supports traditional grazing practices on open grasslands that have shaped this landscape for generations. Visitors can observe livestock moving across the fields, which form a natural part of how this protected land functions today.
The site is accessible year-round, though warmer months offer the best conditions for walking through the grasslands and observing the structure. Parking is available near the old postal route that passes through the area.
Today the bridge stands in a dry landscape, as the natural waterways that once ran through this region have disappeared. This environmental shift makes the surviving structure a silent witness to the area's historical water management practices.
