Hortobágy, pronounced, is an 800 km2 national park located in eastern Hungary, renowned for its rich folklore and cultural heritage. Established as Hungary's first national park in 1973 and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999, Hortobágy is part of the vast Alföld (Great Plain) and is Europe's largest semi-natural grassland. Contrary to previous beliefs attributing its formation to medieval deforestation and river control measures, Hortobágy's alkaline steppe dates back approximately ten thousand years, shaped by the Tisza River and grazing animals during the Ice Age. Recognized for its millennia-long cultural history, scenic beauty, and preservation of traditional pastoralism, the park boasts iconic landmarks like the Nine-holed Bridge and traditional T-shaped sweep wells. Additionally, it serves as a dark sky preserve.
