Hortobagy National Park - UNESCO World Heritage Site
Hortobagy National Park, or the Puszta, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and part of the great Hungarian steppe. A huge flat grassland area that covers much of central Hungary, it's still quite sparsely populated due to poor soil. For much of history, livestock has been reared here rather than crops, and the harsh life here is reflected in the traditional buildings and culture. Follow me as I explore this fascinating region!

Hortobágy National Park - the Puszta (UNESCO/NHK)
The cultural landscape of the Hortobágy Puszta consists of a vast area of plains and wetlands in eastern Hungary. Traditional forms of land use, such as the grazing of domestic animals, have been present in this pastoral society for more than two millennia.

Parco Nazionale Hortobágy - Ungheria
L'Hortobágy è la più ampia area produttiva ungherese, nonché la più grande prateria rimasta in Europa centrale. La sua superficie occupa più di 800 km².
Il paesaggio di Hortobágy è simile ad una steppa, un prato piatto con bestiame, pecore, buoi e cavalli, ed è l'habitat ideale per varie specie (sono state avvistate 342 specie di uccelli).
Si credeva che questa steppa alcalina si fosse formata grazie al taglio di immense foreste durante il Medioevo, e che il fiume Tibisco abbia fatto il resto modificando la struttura del terreno ed il suo pH. In realtà l'Hortobágy è più antico, l'alcalinizzazione iniziò 10.000 anni fa, quando il Tibisco si fece strada lungo la Grande pianura ungherese decapitando i piccoli fiumi che nascevano dalle Montagne Settentrionali. La sua formazione venne conclusa dagli animali da pascolo, marmotte e cavalli selvaggi durante la glaciazione, e dagli animali domestici in seguito.

Hortobágy - Hungary // drone video
Lovely drone video about uniqie Hortobágy at Hungary!
Hortobágy is the breathtaking plain land at Hungary. Like a desert. But very special. There are lot of small lakes, marshes and unique wildlife, last wild horses of Europe, Hungarian grey cattles, racka sheeps, water buffalos and more than tenthousand birds in autumn. Traditions are not only alive but part of everyday life. That is the first drone video from there.
// Look and enjoy! //
A Hortobágy menő hely! Nem csak egy nagy puszta, hanem izgalmas, érdekes, élő és egyedülálló. Miközben készült ez a kisfilm, szépen lassan beleszerettem. Instagram csatornámon már láthattatok néhány képet erről.
Lápok, tavak és eldugott helyek, melyek a levegőből még különlegesebbek. Olyan helyekre juthattam be, ahol más még nem készíthetett ilyen felvételeket! Éppen ezért nagyon különleges ez a videó!
// Nézzétek és élvezzétek! //

Crane roost in the Hortobágy National Park 2013 - by János Oláh / Sakertours
The Hortobágy National Park is the most important gathering place for the Common Cranes (Grus grus) in Europe. About 120 000 - 140 000 birds passing through and the maximum number present one time is around 105 000 - 110 000. This video was taken at one of the major roosting places in late October 2013 with about 45 000 birds present.

Hortobágy National Park interest Point the Puszta
The nearly 75 000 ha area of the World Heritage property “Hortobágy National Park – the Puszta”, located on the Great Hungarian Plain in the eastern part of Hungary, is an outstanding example of a cultural landscape which preserves intact and visible evidence of its traditional pastoral use over more than two millennia and represents the harmonious interaction between people and nature. The Puszta consists of vast plains where specific land-use practices such as animal husbandry, including grazing of hardy livestock breeds adapted to the natural conditions of alkaline pastures, steppes, meadows and wetlands.Significant scientific discoveries made since the inscription of the property attest that treeless alkaline grasslands dominated the landscape from the end of the Pleistocene period. The open character of the Hortobágy, suitable for their grazing practices, presented adequate conditions for the settlement and population of the region. Numerous peoples migrated from the east into the Carpathian Basin in prehistory. The nomadic groups that arrived around 2000 BC were the first to leave their imprint on the natural landscape in the form of many burial mounds (kurgans), mostly found on dry land, but located near a source of water. They were often used for secondary burials by later peoples, and in some cases Christian churches were built on them. Also found in the park are the low mounds (tells) that mark the sites of ancient settlements back from the Neolithic. The Hungarians arrived in the Carpathian Basin at the end of the 9th century and occupied the lands around the Tisza River. Settlements in the Middle Ages followed the Debrecen – Tiszafüred route. The main group was in the area defined by the existing settlements of Hortobágy, Nagyhegyes, Nádudvar and Nagyiván. Documentary records have shown that many of these had churches. By the early 13th century there was a dense network of settlements in the Hortobágy, with an economy based on pastoralism.

A national park is a park in use for conservation purposes. Often it is a reserve of natural, semi-natural, or developed land that a sovereign state declares or owns. Although individual nations designate their own national parks differently, there is a common idea: the conservation of wild nature for posterity and as a symbol of national pride.
An international organization, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and its World Commission on
Protected Areas, has defined National Park as its Category II type of protected areas.
While this type of national park had been proposed previously, the United States established the first public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people, Yellowstone National Park, in 1872. Although Yellowstone was not officially termed a national park in its establishing law, it was always termed such in practice and is widely held to be the first and oldest national park in the world. Some would say that the first official
national park to be designated as such at its creation was Mackinac Island, legislated in 1875. Australia's Royal
National Park, established in 1879, was the world's third official national park. In 1895 ownership of Mackinac Island was transferred to the State of Michigan as a state park and national park status was consequently lost. As a result Australia's Royal National Park is by some considerations the second oldest national park now in existence.
The largest national park in the world meeting the IUCN definition is the Northeast Greenland National Park, which was established in 1974. According to the IUCN, 6,555 national parks worldwide met its criteria in 2006. IUCN is still discussing the parameters of defining a national park.
National parks are almost always open to visitors. Most national parks provide outdoor recreation and camping opportunities as well as classes designed to educate the public on the importance of conservation and the natural wonders of the land in which the national park is located.

The Hungarian Puszta
Puszta is a concept often associated with the traditional Hungarian landscape. It means plains, a vast wilderness of grass and bushes. With a capital letter and a definite article, it refers to the flattest parts of the Alföld (the Great Hungarian Plain). It was originally inhabited by cowherds, shepherds, and horse herders. In 1999, The Puszta (or Hortobágy National Park) was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. [

628 Hortobágy Hungarian shepherds singing. Pásztormulatság
magyarul lsd. lent Shepherds singing near to the farmstead, at a name day celebration. Location: Hortobágy National Park
Tune: Debrecen has a river, its name is Hortobágy
Words: Three wethers (castrated male sheep) dont make a big flock etc.
This is perhaps the most popular of the several hundred traditional shepherding songs, with so many lyrical variations that it could be sung continuously for days on end without repeating a verse.
