1920s - Historic photos of the Hortobágy, maybe 1920s

 

Here's what Wikipedia says about Hortobágy, where our Kuvasz lived and worked for over a thousand years:

"Hortobágy is a steppe, a grassy plain with Hungarian Grey cattle, Racka sheep, Water Buffalo, and horses tended by herdsmen. It provides habitat for various species including 342 species of birds.

"Hortobágy is an 800 km² national park in Eastern Hungary, rich with folklore and cultural history. The park, a part of the Alföld (Great Plain), was designated as a national park in 1973 (the first in Hungary), and elected among the World Heritage sites in 1999. The Hortobágy is Hungary's largest protected area, and the largest semi-natural grassland in Europe."
