Nyiregyhaza

Few cities on the Great Hungarian Plain have a history as closely tied to eighteenth-century resettlement by Slovak Lutheran settlers as Nyíregyháza. The city lies in the Nyírség, a northeastern Hungarian region of sandy plains and woodland, rather than on the Danube or Tisza. Descendants of those settlers are associated with the local Tirpák tradition, an enduring strand of the city’s identity. Sóstó, or Salt Lake, on the northern side of town has long been a leisure area; its Sóstó Resort district includes thermal baths and the Nyíregyháza Zoo. As the seat of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County, Nyíregyháza is an administrative and commercial centre for eastern Hungary.
