Hortobágy will be renewed

The Hortbágy National Park, Hungary’s UNESCO World Heritage site will be renewed. The national park’s management and the municipality of Hortobágy proposed a tender named “Hortobágy – Our World Heritage the Heath”. The goal is to develop the central part of the heritage site, providing a better experience for visitors.

The Hortobágy National Park is a true Hungarian experience. Whenever you think of Hungary, you probably conjure up images of horses, gray cattle, crane wells and wide lush meadows. Now it is time for Hortobágy to get a revamp, and thus, provide an even more memorable experience. The proposal’s deadline is in October, so they are still waiting for the offers.

However, we have insight into what is being planned thanks to magyarepitok.hu. The development plan includes the restoration of the Szekérállás building. The Körszín building will be reconstructed and turned into an information point. Lastly, a comprehensive public utility upgrade can be expected.

The Szekérállás

The building is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage attribute and it is also under monument protection. While trying to reconstruct the original form of the roof and openings, they will be preserving the structure of the roof and the walls of the building. Inside, a complete modernisation is to be expected both from a utility and architectural perspective. An independent space will be made inside the building accommodating all the functions necessary to keep the building running, while the machinery will be located on the floor above.
