Descrizione
Hortobágy National Park has the largest semi-natural grassland in Europe. With 800 km2 it is Hungary's largest protected area. The Old Fishponds are a 2000 hectare fishpond system that is located in the northern part of the national park. The fishpond system has been a nature reserve since the foundation of Hortobágy National Park in 1973. Its birdlife, including breeding and migrating species, is particularly valuable. In the last 35 years, nearly 300 species have been observed here.
You can see many species of ducks, geese, waders, herons, terns and other waterbirds including Tarabuso, Tarabusino, Marzaiola, Moretta tabaccata, Sgarza ciuffetto, Nitticora, Cannareccione, Marangone minore, Cicogna nera, Cavaliere d'Italia, Avocetta, Chiurlo maggiore, Pittima reale, Combattente, Pavoncella and Mignattino piombato. The most spectacular event of the year is the autumn migration of Gru. In October, up to 40 thousand Gru roost simultaneously in the drained fishponds.
