Kiskunfelegyhaza: Erdelyvaros: Kiskunfélegyháza -> Szeged
The Great Hungarian Plain defines the setting of Kiskunfélegyháza — its level, open terrain gives this southern Hungarian town a spacious, low-rise character. Situated in Bács-Kiskun County on the Danube–Tisza Interfluve, it developed as a market town serving the agricultural lands between the two great rivers. The plain is one of Hungary’s principal farming regions, a context that has long shaped the town’s commercial role. Its centre retains the civic scale of an Alföld town, while main roads carry local traffic past homes, workshops and shops. Kiskunfélegyháza is closely associated with the writer Ferenc Móra, who was born here in 1879. The “Kiskun” in its name recalls the historic Kunság, traditionally associated with the Cumans.

The Great Hungarian Plain defines the setting of Kiskunfélegyháza — the level land between the Danube and Tisza has shaped it as an agricultural town of broad streets, open squares and far-reaching horizons. It stands in the historic Little Cumania region, whose name recalls the Cuman people who settled on the Hungarian plain in the Middle Ages. The writer, journalist and museum director Ferenc Móra was born here in 1879, and the city also has close associations with Hungary’s national poet Sándor Petőfi, who spent part of his childhood in Kiskunfélegyháza.

Built around the Tisza River basin and the trading routes of the Great Hungarian Plain, Great Plain and North developed into a broad region where open farmland meets Hungary’s northern hills. The Tisza and its floodplain have long influenced settlement and agriculture, while the plains retain the puszta character associated with horse breeding and herding. Hortobágy National Park, Hungary’s first national park and a UNESCO World Heritage site, safeguards a cultural landscape of grassland, wetlands and traditional pastoral use. Farther north, the terrain rises toward the country’s mountain districts. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Hungary connects between the plain and northern uplands.
