Plains

Two of the Carpathian alluvial basins are located in Hungary, known as the Great Plain and the Little Plain. The two are separated by the Transdanubian Central Mountains. Here we find the westernmost member of the Eurasian steppes, which, unlike their eastern counterparts, owe their formation to the action of rivers. The Danube and the Tisza are two of the most important rivers in these plains, alongside therivers and the Danube, with their many backwaters and alluvial cones. The landscape is dotted with protected Kunhalm, a species of fish, along with wind swamps and various bogs. Here you will also find the Lake of Venice, Lake Tisza, Lake Hortobágy, Lake Fertő and the famous lakes of the Hortobágy and Fertő lakes.and the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage sites of Matyóföld and Mohács. The route of the Alföld Blue Trail passes through the Alföld.

It stretches from the dissected valleys of the Zala Hills through the loess of Somogyland to the Tolna-Baranya Hills. It has a dense network of rivers, interspersed with lakes. Forests cover the landscape, and along the valleys many small villages hide in the silence of nature.Villages with a rich local heritage are linked by a series of hiking trails through the hilly landscape. Here you will find the Koppányvölgy Nature Park, several wine regions besides Villány, and the Somogy coastal plain south of Lake Balaton.
