To change the landscape the next world heritage site is the Puszta of Hortobágy described as ’the sea, boundless and green’. In the old days the ’glorious steppe’ resounded to the pounding hooves of countless horses and cattle while Racka sheep grazed under the surveillance of Puli dogs. The occurence of mirages during the hot, dry Hortobágy summers is rare but real. Equestrian shows, splendid teams in harness, bring back the living horsemanship traditions, traditional folk art events like the old fashion village fairs recall those of the last century. The Tokaj Wine Region also merited the world heritage status due to its ancient viticulture the beginning of which goes back to the Romans. The wines derive their character from the special soil, the prolonged sunlight and delayed harvest as well as the wine-making techniques developed here. Since the Middle Ages Tokaj wines collected notable accolades from world celebrities and counts as a genuine Hungaricum.
