Postcard from Hungary -Fertö / Neusiedlersee Cultural Landscape,Hungary.

The Fertö/Neusiedler Lake area has been the meeting place of different cultures for eight millennia. This is graphically demonstrated by its varied landscape, the result of an evolutionary symbiosis between human activity and the physical environment. The remarkable rural architecture of the villages surrounding the lake and several 18th- and 19th-century palaces adds to the area’s considerable cultural interest.

Hortobágy National Park - the Puszta,Hungary.

Located on the Great Hungarian Plain in the eastern part of Hungary,it  is an outstanding example of a cultural landscape which preserves intact the visible evidence of its traditional pastoral use over more than two millennia  It also represents the harmonious interaction between people and nature. The Puszta consists of vast plains where specific land-use practices such as animal husbandry, including grazing of  livestock  adapted to the natural conditions of alkaline pastures, steppes, meadows and wetlands.

Significant scientific discoveries made since the inscription of the property attest that treeless alkaline grasslands dominated the landscape from the end of the Pleistocene period. The open character  suitable for animal grazing practices, presented adequate conditions for the settlement of population in the region.

Budapest, including the Banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter and Andrássy Avenue,Hungary.

It was the site of the Roman city of Aquincum, situated to the north of the inscribed property which comprises parts of two originally quite separate cities: Buda on the spur on the right bank and Pest on the plain on the left bank.on the the Banks of the river Danube.
It is one of the world's outstanding urban landscapes and illustrates the great periods in the history of the Hungarian capital. In the 19th century, the city’s role as a capital was enhanced by the foundation of the Hungarian Academy, housed from 1862 in a neo-renaissance palace, and by the construction of the imposing neo-gothic Parliament building (1884–1904).This beautiful card was sent by Tricia F from USA.Thank you Tricia for the wonderful Venus/Saturn stamps too.  Ref: 400bis
