霍托巴吉既是豪伊杜-比哈尔邦县一个村庄的名字, 也是匈牙利东部一个800平方公里的公园的名字,那里充满了民间传说和历史文化。公园是大平原的一部分(大平原),1973年被定为国家公园(这在匈牙利还是第一次),1999年列入世界遗产之列。霍托巴吉是匈牙利最大的保护区,也是欧洲最大的天然草原。霍托巴吉跟西伯利亚的草原有些相似,是个有牧牛、绵羊、公牛和牧马的草原,由牧民管理,它给许多物种提供了生存环境(据统计这里已经出现过342种鸟类)。它的象征是九孔桥,这也是传统的地龙墙。游客也会在这里看到海市蜃楼。

Hortobágy National park is one of the iconic places of Hungary. The largest and oldest National Park in the North-Eastern part of the country. From Budapest will take a 2 hours drive to reach the area, but to get acquantied with it, it takes a life time. One of the in-land areas within Europe where you still can see the unbroken horizon (where the sky touch on the ground) as well as on siutable days, the feature of mirage or "fata morgana". The first impression when you meet the area could be the feeling of the "big nothig", but if you take the effort to enter the area (several and different facilities as visitor centre, hiking trails, narrow gauge railway within the fishpond sytems, wetlands, grasslands are available) will reward you with an unexpected richness of biodiversity that can be experienced within the area. The sytem of roadside-inns (csárda), pleasant accommodation, thermal baths in the region will make even enjoyable your stay in the HNP region. The best time of the year to visit the area is April, May June and beginning of July. It is advisabe to get in contact in advance with the administration of the national park, where colleagues responsible for visitor management will be able to provide you with all the necessary advices and details for a well planned visit.

Marvelous authentic Hugarian landscape with polite people in the middle of puszta in eastern Hungary. Good transportation by train from Keleti railway station, Budapest.

Beautiful area and polite people in the middle of Hungary puszta. Visited there twice and going back back every time when I go to Hungary. Original Hungary landscape with bulls, horses and flat puszta nature. Easy to go by train from Budapest Keleti railway station.

This National Park is so simple and so wonderful! It looks only a big square but if you go by ship into the undiscovered places it'll show its really face! There lives the peace.

The Hortobágy National Park is a unique area in the easter part of Hungary, Europe. The soil have an elevated sodium salt content (see Photo 1), the plants are small with limited productivity. The whitish area in the foreground is salt-effected soil (solonec or natraquept), typical in this area. Tens of thousands of years ago the plain used to be under sea water.Also a unique phenomenon is that the water burns (see Photo 2). "Water that burns"... well, not quite; rather gas, that had found its way from a nearby field, accompanies the water as it comes to the surface.

We went for the wagon ride out to see a herd of the traditional Hungarian grey cattle. Then we saw an amazing display of horsemanship. One man stood on the backs of two horses while controlling three more horses in front. To see him galloping around with the five horses was amazing.

We were surprised how many interesting activities the park has to offer! Visited it on Hungarian National holiday for the whole day and still there were a lot of things left to fill one more day. As many suggested, visit tourist information center to get the information about the programs for the day. We tried carriage drive from Mata Stud which took us on a 2 hour trip to the puszta. One could see Water Buffaloes, Hungarian Grey Cattle, Mangalica pigs and Raczka sheep. The horsemanship show was amazing! The only downside was that our guide provided information in Hungarian ONLY although we were definitely not the only foreigners in the group. After I approached her and asked to repeat the same in English, she did, but for sure with fewer details. We also enjoyed Hortobagy Wild Animals park, Herdsmen Museum, Korszin craftsmen exhibition, and Hortobagy Csarda Museum and restaurant. Overall, a great attraction and an unforgettable experience.
