Review:
When you need a brief break from the almost-overwhelming history and culture which abounds in and around Budapest you can head to the Hortobagy National Park for some outdoor recreation. Do not expect this national park to be a place for hiking and biking – it is more of a heritage site which protects and showcases authentic Hungarian pastoral and rural traditions. A highlight of your visit will be watching the Puszta (Hungarian cowboys) entertain visitors with a wonderful show of equestrian skills. You will also be able to take a Jeep excursion to see unusual wildlife like the unique Raka sheep, which have huge V-shaped horns. Bird-watching is also very rewarding in the park.
