Wandering in the Past The region is rich in historical heritage. These pages are intended to introduce the cultural heritage of the region and also to encourage the reader to visit the northern region of the Great Hungarian Plain and its wide variety of architectural and cultural sights. The Thermal Bath of Sóstó, situated right by the city of Nyíregyháza, is famous for its peculiar atmosphere that inspired Gyula Krúdy, the popular writer between the two world wars, as well as Lujza Blaha, the celebrated actress of the 19th century. Today people may revisit the past in the Mu- seum Village of Sóstó, the only open-air ethnographical museum of the region. Visitors should stop by – even for a short hour – the romantic fortresses, the castles surrounded by massive walls, and the spiritual centres: the churches of the region. Most of these churches are the masterpieces of the cultic and artistic traditions of architecture, regardless of their size or importance: it is equally a breath-taking experience to look up at the coffered ceiling covering the mud-and-doub walls of the Calvinist church of Tákos, or to pay homage to the memorabilia of the Hungarian Revolution (1848-49) in the grand Calvinist Church of Debrecen. The past is also present in memorial sights of famous literary persons, in ethnographical curiosities or in the heritage of folk architecture. The regions of Tiszahát, Erdőhát, Nagykunság and Jászság offer their visitors peace and slow time. Without the past our future becomes obscure, therefore we need to stop and look around before we move on.

If we are ready to go close the “puszta” reveals its hidden treasures: we may witness tens of thousands of cranes, wild geese, and mallards moving across the plain during their migration in spring and autumn. Groups of white stork regularly patrol the sky while you need to be lucky to meet black storks and spoonbills. Hortobágy is also the home of the characters of an old pastoral world: cattlemen, shepherds and horsemen and their loyal helpers the puli and the komondor, a small and a big species of longhaired sheepdogs of a Hungarian breed. Other characteristic elements of the scenery are grazing herds, sweep-pole wells, horsemen riding in baggy trousers, the famous stonebridge that is built over nine spans – it is named after the “nine holes” and with its 167 metres, it is the longest vehicular stone bridge in Hungary –, and the Hortobágy Csárda, the famous country tavern. On hot summer days we may witness the delusion of fata morgana, an unusual Grand Egret – Hortobágy natural phenomenon. In spite of the vast pastures the entire area is not covered by the alka- line soil of the puszta, there is also an extensive system of fish-ponds Hortobágy Awaits You here, and nearly forty percent of the national park is covered by a boggy, Considered as a part of our World Heritage, Hortobágy hides in the heart swampy, wetland area.

The Roman Catholic church of the town was built in 1895 during the Millennium (celebrating the thousand year-old history of the State of Hungary). The oldest church in Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County can be found in Jánoshalma, and it is considered as a historical monument since its architecture contains Roman elements that were preserved during the series of reconstruction.

The most intact earthwork in Middle-Europe can be found in Szabolcs, by the river Tisza. The triangular earthwork was the scene of the national assembly in the age of the Arpads.

Working on the Potter’s Wheel Black Ceramics from Nádudvar Traditional Handcraftsmanship The representatives of traditional professions and handcraftsmanship – wood carvers, weavers, embroiderers, potters – inherited their skills from a long sequence of generations. The variety in style and patterns that characterises these elements of folk art has accumulated throughout he past centuries. There are still masters of old professions in most of the villages, who are ready to teach about their craft in workshops or in courses. The products of traditional handcraftsmanship may become parts of our lives if we are willing to recognise the merits of an intensive coexistence between man and nature. One of the centres of folk pottery is Mezőtúr where pottery has been made since the 16th century based on the excellent raw material found in the area. The products of this region – jugs, dishes, plates, crocks, and flasks – are easily recognised by their colours: red, green and white patterns on an ochre back- ground. The Pottery Museum in Mezőtúr displays the history of local pottery until today in a permanent exhibition. The life and work of Balázs Badár Sr. and his family is displayed by the Memorial House. The “Hajdúság” region is famous for the black ceramics of Nádudvar as well as the white and felted embroidery made in the area. Felted embroidery is also made in the region of Debrecen and Derecske.

It is a typi- cal house of the region: it is covered with reeds, divided into three main parts, and there is a long veranda along the front of the house. The adobe walls are painted white and they are black at he bottom. The tricks of plaiting of straw can be learnt about in the “Aranyszalma” (Golden Straw) Workshop. There is also a Straw Gallery in the Community Centre of Törökszentmiklós where the products of the summer camps are displayed. The Mihalkó family in Balmazújváros makes traditional hats and caps that used to be and are still worn by herdsmen of all kinds. The traditional culture of herdsmen in the Great Hungarian Plain and in Hor- tobágy is best represented by wood carvings, and objects made of horn or leather, like the “karikás”, a short-stocked ornamental long whip and jack-knife holders. Wood carvers made the basic furniture of rural houses. These objects were richly ornamented by patterns of leafy twigs, roses and tulips. Handmade and carved folk furniture is still often used in households in the regions of Nagykunság and Jászság. There are still a few active handicraftsmen in Jászszentandrás who make folk furniture. The characteristic embroidery of the Jászság region originates from fur embroidery, that was famous for its wonderful ornaments. Furriers used the long fur of the traditional Hungarian species of sheep to make the “suba” (shepherd’s cloak) and the “ködmön” (a sheepskin waistcoat) that were embroidered by coloured yarns. A shepherd’s cloak for a grown man consist of 14-16 sheepskins. Today we may recognise these patterns on household textiles and clothes. Rétköz is famous for its homespun, Bereg is noted for the herring-bone embroidery, women of Tarpa make the most beautiful tulip and carnation patterns, while Paszab is famous for the flowers and fish on its embroidery. In Be- regdaróc visitors can gain insight into hemp processing.
