Nine-holed Bridge

Kilenclyukú híd

A nine-arched stone bridge completed in 1833, about 167 metres long. It is Hungary's longest stone road bridge and a symbol of the Hortobágy grassland.

The Nine-holed Bridge spans the Hortobágy River. Built between 1827 and 1833, it is about 167 metres long and is Hungary's longest stone road bridge. It often appears in Hungarian literature and paintings. Beside the bridge stands the Hortobágy Csárda, an old coaching inn built in 1699, where you can taste herdsmen's soup and Hortobágy pancakes. Around 20 August each year, a traditional bridge fair is held, with handicrafts and folk performances. The bridge is in the centre of Hortobágy village. It is free to visit and right next to the visitor centre and the Shepherd Museum.
