"Little Hortobágy", Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, Hungary

The “Little Hortobágy“ (Borsod Mezőség) covers an area of 115 square miles and is located north west of the Tisza River. It is a protected area managed by the Bükk National Park which lies further to the north.
The “Little Hortobágy“ is very similar to the larger Hortobágy area to the south east but it has much less strict visitor regulations and access can be more problematic unless the rough tracks crossing it are dry. The main habitats are alkaline grasslands (puszta) and arable fields with some small areas of woodland. The best area for birding is the rough track between the villages of Tiszabábolna and Szentistvan.
