Bugacpuszta

Traditional horseshows

Bugacpuzsta is located in the Kiskunsag National Parc, about half an hour drive from the camping. One of the most famous parts of the puszta where a spectacular horse show can be visited. The horsemen of the puszta show their skills, which go all the way back to their nomad roots from different Hun nations.

Once a year in August, the Kurultaj event is hosted at this place, a gathering of Hun and Turkic nations to celebrate and share the culture of their respective countries. Shows, gatherings, stands with handicrafts, food and souvenirs from distant lands serve this purpose.

and puszta life…

The location of the horse show can be reached either on foot or with a nice carriage ride, which leave from the entrance at the Karikás Csárda restaurant. The 1,5 km ride or walk will take you over the Hungarian puszta with its unique flora and fauna. You will also see the traditional shepherds buildings on the way, such as reed huts and a milk processing cottage.

You can visit the Sheperd Museum with a lot of information about traditional life on the puszta and the small Indigenous Zoo with Hungarian animals such as the mangalica pigs, the grey cattle, racka sheep and special dog breeds. Visitors can thus experience the unique atmosphere of the puszta.

Besides from the horseshows you can also book a carriage ride or do a 5 km walking tour around the area.
