The symbol of Hortobágy and the longest stone bridge in Hungary, spanning the Hortobágy River with nine arches in a graceful 167-metre sweep. Built in the 1830s, it served as a crossing point on the main cattle-droving route between Debrecen and the grazing lands of the puszta — the broad, flat grassland that was once the pasture ground for hundreds of thousands of cattle and horses.
The bridge stands next to the old Hortobágy inn (csárda), which has operated continuously since the 19th century and now serves traditional gulyás, paprikás, and the heavy meat stews of the Hungarian plain. In August, the bridge serves as the focal point for the annual Hortobágy Bridge Fair, a three-day craft and folk event that brings traditional horsemen, craftspeople, and food vendors from across the region.
