Hortobágy National Park covers some 800 km² of wetlands, marshes and saline grasslands in Hungary's Great Plain, west of Debrecen and offers some of the best bird watching possibilities in Europe. More than 300 bird species have been spotted there over the years.

Some of the bird species you might see there include eagles, egrets, great bustards, herons, spoonbills, storks and warblers. A guide is compulsory and the park can only be accessed on foot, by horse or with a carriage.

One the the most popular sights in the park is the Nine-holed Bridge.

Hortobágy National Park was established in 1973 and it was inscribed into UNESCO's list of world heritage sites in 1999. The park is 150 km east of Budapest.
