After getting back from Miskolc, Amanda, Mum, Derek and I headed off to the Hortobágy national park. Hortobágy was the first national park in Hungary, established in 1973 and is thought to be the largest natural grassland in Europe (or so the guide said).
The drive down to the steppe was fairly uneventful other than it was fairly well signed (which is unusual for Hungarian attractions). Amanda and I had gotten back to Máriapócs in the early afternoon so we were rushing to make the 4pm tour. Once there, we met up with a number of other tourists (the majority of whom spoke English so the multi-lingual guide spent most of her time on the tour talking English). So soon enough, we entered a horse drawn cart and took off on our way through the steppes.
The tour was absolutely awesome, we saw the native sheep, horses, cattle, water buffalo and furry pigs.
