HORTOBÁGY The word Hortobágy has several meanings: it denotes a settlement, a landscape and a river that meanders through it. What connects them is the Nine Hole Bridge, the longest stone-built road bridge in the country, and the traditional restaurant, the Hortobágy Great Tavern, located in the immediate vicinity of the bridge. Anyone can experience the feeling of life in the Puszta on a horse-drawn carriage ride: you can see the animals in their original habitat and find out why the Hungarian people were born to ride horses.
