Hortobágy National Park
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. Until recently it was believed that this alkaline steppe was formed by the clear cutting of huge forests in the Middle Ages, followed by measures to control the course of the Tisza River, allegedly resulting in the soil's current structure and pH. However, Hortobágy is much older, with alkalinization estimated to have started ten thousand years ago, when the Tisza first found its way through the Great Hungarian Plain, cutting off many streams from their sources in the Northern Mountains. The formation was finished by grazing animals and wild horses during the Ice Age, followed by domesticated animals. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Smetana (dairy Product)
Smetana is the English-language name for the different types of sour cream traditionally prevalent in Central Europe, Central, Eastern Europe, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe, and Central Asia. It is a dairy product produced by souring heavy cream. It is similar to ''crème fraîche'', but nowadays mainly sold with 9% to 42% milkfat content depending on the country. Its cooking properties are different from ''crème fraîche'' and the lighter sour creams sold in the US, which contain 12 to 16% butterfat. It is widely used in cooking and baking.
