General presentation
Debrecen et Hortobágy
Large eastern Hungarian city and Puszta gate, between reformed heritage, thermal baths, Hortobágy National Park, birds and open horizons.
The discovery of Debrecen and Hortobágy revolves around Debrecen, Hortobágy and nine arched bridge. The stay thus alternates between urban life, the countryside, wetlands and natural areas, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: very open and seasonal landscapes and possible heat and mosquitoes. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.
