Hortobágy, the National Park with its area over 800 km² is the largest protected area in Hungary and the largest natural grassland in Europe. It is very similar to a steppe, You can see here cattle, sheep, oxen and horses, tended by herdsmen. One of the most unique curiosities of the Hortobágy is its bird-life.

There are four areas for the tourist: Nyírőlapos-Nyárijárás Puszta, the Hortobágy Fish Lake (halastó), the swamps of Egyek-Pusztakócs (mocsarak) and Tisza Lake.
