Hortobágy - Completely flat northeastern part of the Great Hungarian Plain (Nagyalföld), south and east of the River Tisza and adjacent to the City of Debrecen. Originally it belonged to the flood plain of the River Tisza, therefore it was swampy; but in the 1840s, it was drained and was converted to a mostly treeless pasture land. Since the mid 18th century, it became an outlying pasture land of the city of Debrecen and a characteristic pasturing culture has developed there. After 1945, about one quarter of this area was converted to irrigated agricultural land. Along the main drainage channels, several fish farms were established. Its central area became a National Park. – B: 1134, 1153, 1020, T: 7656.

Hortobágy National Park – 52,000 hectares (ha) or 128,400 acres of the Hortobágy Puszta (steppe) became the first national park of Hungary on 1 January 1973. Its additional 13,500 ha (33,345 acre) perimeter is retained as a Nature Conservation Area. The National Park preserves the centuries-old indigenous pasturing culture along with its unique flora and fauna, especially bird life, so characteristic of the Hungarian steppes. The Park retains the unique gene pool of the Hungarian longhorn cattle and long-wool sheep, which regularly pastured there for centuries. Other typical domestic animals bred here are the Hungarian horse, the water buffalo and the vizsla dog. The characteristic architecture of the buildings and structures, constructed here in the last centuries, is also preserved within the Park. – B: 1153, 1020, T: 7656.→Vizsla, Hungarian Dog.
