The Hortobágy Museum provides insight into the history of the steppe, the everyday life of shepherds, and the cultural heritage of the region.

At the Máta Stud Farm, visitors can experience the renowned equestrian traditions of Hortobágy and Hungary’s native horse breeds up close, while a horse-drawn carriage tour across the steppe allows exploration of the area’s unique wildlife among ancient Hungarian animals such as Hungarian grey cattle, racka sheep, and buffalo. The programme is completed by the Hortobágy Wildlife Park, where characteristic wild animals of the Carpathian Basin can be observed in habitats resembling their natural environment.
