Excursion - HORTOBÁGY GREAT FISHPONDS
2014.02.09 (Sunday)
Hortobágy is an 800 km² national park in Eastern Hungary, rich with folklore and cultural history. The park, a part of the Alföld (Great Plain), was designated as a national park in 1973 (the first in Hungary), and elected among the World Heritage sites in 1999. The Hortobágy is Hungary's largest protected area, and the largest semi-natural grassland in Europe.
Hortobágy Great fishponds is the greatest bird habitat in Central Europe. The nesting and migrating birds of Hortobágy Great-Fishponds are particular valuable. In the last 40 years nearly 300 bird species have been observed here. This made that area one of the well known habitat for birds.
We will watch migrating wild goose and ducks.
