Hortobagy

Removed from Unnamed collection
Hortobágy National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a stunning example of untouched natural beauty. It's a place where you can escape the everyday grind and find peace in the vast, open countryside. Picture this: the endless horizon stretching out before you, mirages shimmering in the distance, and herds of cattle and horses grazing peacefully. A ride in a horse-drawn carriage or a "puszta" safari lets you soak up this breathtaking scenery, capturing both your imagination and your heart. Hop on the charming narrow-gauge train for a trip to the fishponds, where birdwatching becomes an adventure for both the young and the young at heart. As you explore, the air is filled with the delightful scents of wild chamomile, mint, and artemisia, teasing your senses like ocean waves caressing the shore. Here, you'll discover a new appreciation for the tranquility of silence. For a touch of magic, join a special night trek in the Starry Sky Park, where the celestial wonders seem almost within reach. Hortobágy, Hungary's oldest and largest national park, has rightfully earned the European Destinations of Excellence (EDEN) prize. It's a place where century-old herding traditions remain a way of life, not just a tourist attraction. The park's rich cultural heritage and natural beauty make it a must-visit for anyone seeking a genuine connection to nature. If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the majestic great bustard, one of Europe's heaviest flying birds, which calls this park home.
