The area became a national park in 1973, making it the first of its kind in Hungary. The area of the Park is over 800 km2. Hortobágy is similar to a steppe: it is a grassy plain with cattle, sheep, oxen and horses tended by herdsmen, and it provides a habitat for various species (342 bird species have been registered). Its emblematic sight is the Nine-holed Bridge; and apart from this, the Park is characterised by traditional sweep-wells. Hortobágy is Hungary’s largest protected area and the largest natural grassland in Europe at the same time.
