Traditional cottage, set in Kiskunsagi National Park. Very rural, would suit peace seekers, bird watchers, walkers etc. The cottage is next to the family farm house and benefits from central heating if visiting in winter.

Some interesting wildlife:

In early March, the frogs and toads of the Puzsta have their mating fortnight. The dusk and dawn sounds are amazing. Early April sees the first of the Storks arriving on the Puzsta, followed closely by the Beeaters, Rollers, Golden Oriel and of course the Hoopoe. May sees the arrival of the House Martins, Swallows and Swifts. The Lesser Spotted Woodpecker of course is an all year round resident, as are the Sparrows, Blue Tits, Nuthatch and the finch family.

Additional local information.

The largest area in the region is the Kiskunság. The Cumans (kun), originally from Asia, settled in this region in the 13th century and were absorbed into Hungarian society. Their name is still carried by many small settlements and towns in the region. Kiskunság has "moving sand" dunes and the puszta landscape.

Kiskunmajsa is known for its good wine and its medicinal bath.

Kiskunfélegyháza was the hometown of the great Hungarian poet of the Alföld, Petõfi Sándor and Móra Ferenc who wrote about peasant life in the region. The Baroque Church and the Town Hall are remarkable buildings.

Kiskunhalas is famous for feather-touch lace. The secret of this extremely sophisticated lace-making technique can be seen in the Lace House.

Bugac

The Puszta of Bugac, designated by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve, is the most visited section of the Kiskunság National Park. The breath-taking "Puszta Ötös" (Puszta Five) is the highlight of horse-shows.

The Shepherd Museum demonstrates the shepherds' everyday life, hut making and wood carvings. The history and the cultivation of the forests of the Great Plain are presented by the Great Plain Afforestation Museum. Guests can eat original puszta dishes at the restaurants Bugac Csárda and Bugac Karikás Csárda.

Lajosmizse-Bene

Many people come to the Old Farmstead Inn and Museum at Lajosmizse-Bene, attracted by the Hungarian culinary specialties, the horse shows and the exciting Gypsy music of the Puszta parties. They find a typical farmstead of the Great Hungarian Plain with horses in the stables, summer kitchen, corn-drying barns, cart-sheds and an old pigeon loft.

Kecskemét

Kecskemét is famous far and wide for the Kecskemét apricot brandy, the colourful Art Nouveau buildings decorated with ceramics and the Kodály method of musical education.

The famous buildings around the wide, impressive Kossuth Square are: the tile-roofed Town Hall, the 600 year-old Franciscan church of St. Nicholas, and the Great Church. The Cifrapalota (Fancy Palace), ornamented with colourful floral patterns, is an outstanding example of Hungarian Art Nouveau architecture. Inside, the works of Hungarian painters of the 19th and 20th centuries are displayed.

Students from all over the world come to the summer training courses of the "Zoltán Kodály" Musical Education Institute, to study the musical education methodology of the Hungarian composer, in his native city.

Many unique museums and nationally important collections have found a home here including: the Hungarian People's Applied Arts Museum, the Museum of Hungarian Naive Artists, The 'Szórakaténusz' Toy Museum and Workshop, the only photography museum in the country, and the Leskowsky Collection of Musical Instruments. The tasting and guided tour of the Zwack Fruit Brandy Distillery is a memorable experience for all visitors.
