Hortobagy: Tiszafüred
Tucked into the Great Hungarian Plain, Hortobágy is a place whose character is shaped by the vast, level puszta grasslands of eastern Hungary. The settlement lies beside the Hortobágy River within Hortobágy National Park, Hungary’s first national park and part of the UNESCO-listed Hortobágy cultural landscape. Its defining monument is the Nine-Holed Bridge, a stone bridge completed in 1833 for traffic on the historic route across the plain. Hortobágy is also associated with the csikós, mounted herdsmen whose traditions reflect a long pastoral economy of grazing livestock on open range. Sparse settlement, long straight roads and pasture give this part of Hungary its unmistakable scale.
