TREASURE TROVE: THE NORTHERN GREAT PLAIN REGION – CULTURE AND HERITAGE

2

Main Square, Grand Calvinist Church – Debrecen

Wandering in the PastThe region is rich in historical heritage. These pages are intended to intro-duce the cultural heritage of the region and also to encourage the readerto 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, isfamous for its peculiar atmosphere that inspired Gyula Krúdy, the popularwriter between the two world wars, as well as Lujza Blaha, the celebratedactress of the 19th century. Today people may revisit the past in the Mu-seum Village of Sóstó, the only open-air ethnographical museum of theregion. Visitors should stop by – even for a short hour – the romanticfortresses, the castles surrounded by massive walls, and the spiritualcentres: the churches of the region. Most of these churches are the mas-terpieces of the cultic and artistic traditions of architecture, regardless of

their size or importance: it is equally a breath-taking experience to look upat the coffered ceiling covering the mud-and-doub walls of the Calvinistchurch of Tákos, or to pay homage to the memorabilia of the HungarianRevolution (1848-49) in the grand Calvinist Church of Debrecen. The pastis also present in memorial sights of famous literary persons, in ethno-graphical curiosities or in the heritage of folk architecture. The regions ofTiszahát, Erdőhát, Nagykunság and Jászság offer their visitors peace andslow time. Without the past our future becomes obscure, therefore weneed to stop and look around before we move on.

Grand Egret – Hortobágy

Hortobágy Awaits YouConsidered as a part of our World Heritage, Hortobágy hides in the heartof the European Continent and offers insight into a long last harmonybetween man and nature. In 1972 UNESCO adopted the treaty on thepreservation of the world’s cultural and natural heritage. The list of WorldHeritage contains historic monuments, buildings, cultural sights, naturalformations or areas of universal significance from historical, artistic or

scientific perspective. Hortobágy National Park covers an area of 200thousand acres and it is the largest pasture in Europe that remained in-tact. The National Park was adopted as part of the World Heritage inDecember 1999 as an outstanding example of a lasting coexistence ofman and nature. It consists of an endless grassy plain, the “puszta”, that

functions as the pasture for traditional Hungarian species of domesticanimals, such as cattle, pig and sheep. If we are ready to go close the“puszta” reveals its hidden treasures: we may witness tens of thousandsof cranes, wild geese, and mallards moving across the plain during their

migration in spring and autumn. Groups of white stork regularly patrolthe 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 andthe komondor, a small and a big species of longhaired sheepdogs of aHungarian breed. Other characteristic elements of the scenery are grazingherds, sweep-pole wells, horsemen riding in baggy trousers, the famousstonebridge that is built over nine spans – it is named after the “nineholes” and with its 167 metres, it is the longest vehicular stone bridge inHungary –, and the Hortobágy Csárda, the famous country tavern. On hotsummer days we may witness the delusion of fata morgana, an unusual

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-pondshere, and nearly forty percent of the national park is covered by a boggy,swampy, wetland area. The National Park offers exhibition houses andeducational paths to introduce the flora and fauna of the area.What appears first as an inanimate, burnt out, saline area is the homeof thousands of birds. There are two hundred couples of spoonbill hatch-ing in the highly preserved area. Horse breeding and equestrian sportsare also characteristic activities in the area that was compared to a vast

open sea by Sándor Petőfi, the revolutionary poet in the 19th century.Hortobágy-Máta is the largest equestrian centre of the region, but thereare also other horse farms open for visitors. If not on horseback, the bestway to approach the treasures of the pristine environment is to take a tripon a horse carriage.

April 1849.It is also worth visiting the “Csonka” (Broken) church that was built in1600.

Working on the Potter’s Wheel Black Ceramics from Nádudvar

Traditional HandcraftsmanshipThe representatives of traditional professions and handcraftsmanship – woodcarvers, weavers, embroiderers, potters – inherited their skills from a longsequence of generations. The variety in style and patterns that characterisesthese elements of folk art has accumulated throughout he past centuries. Thereare still masters of old professions in most of the villages, who are ready toteach about their craft in workshops or in courses. The products of traditional

handcraftsmanship may become parts of our lives if we are willing to recognisethe merits of an intensive coexistence between man and nature.One of the centres of folk pottery is Mezőtúr where pottery has been madesince 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 easilyrecognised by their colours: red, green and white patterns on an ochre back-ground. The Pottery Museum in Mezőtúr displays the history of local potteryuntil today in a permanent exhibition. The life and work of Balázs Badár Sr. andhis family is displayed by the Memorial House.

and Derecske. The traditional skills of handcraftsmanship are practised inpottery workshops by renowned folk artists. Among these traditions the mostprominent in Túrkeve is the skill of making “Cumanian” embroidery. Pillow-cases were made of woollen yarn and felt for a long time, but today household

tobágy is best represented by wood carvings, and objects made of horn orleather, like the “karikás”, a short-stocked ornamental long whip and jack-knifeholders. Wood carvers made the basic furniture of rural houses. These objectswere richly ornamented by patterns of leafy twigs, roses and tulips. Handmadeand 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 folkfurniture. The characteristic embroidery of the Jászság region originates fromfur embroidery, that was famous for its wonderful ornaments. Furriers usedthe long fur of the traditional Hungarian species of sheep to make the “suba”(shepherd’s cloak) and the “ködmön” (a sheepskin waistcoat) that were embroi-dered by coloured yarns. A shepherd’s cloak for a grown man consist of 14-16sheepskins.

dery, 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-

Besides plaited rye-, oat-, and barely-straw, objects of everyday lifewere often made of wicker, rushes or straw. Later dry cornhusk also became araw material of plaited bags and ornaments. People still make wicker baskets,straw bread-baskets and sewing baskets. Cornhusk is also used to make toysfor children. Basketry and other wicker-work, such as wicker furniture are still

popular in the regions surrounding the rivers Tisza, Zagyva, and Körös wherewicker and rush can be found. Railings around tombs are the best examples ofthe blacksmithing works of the region, but visitors may also find ornamentedgates, sign-boards, door- and window-lattice.
