Puszta
Puszta () is a concept often associated with the Hungarian traditional landscape. It means "steppe", a full vegetation and bushy land, wilderness, a grassy kind of semi-desert. With a capital letter and a definite article, it refers to flat parts of the Alföld (the Great Hungarian Plain). It is originally inhabited by cowherds, shepherds, and horseherds. From 1999, The Puszta (or Hortobágy National Park) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hungary. The name comes from an adjective of the same form, meaning "bare, empty, bereft". It may also refer to a remote farm surrounded by fields and in this sense it is part of some placenames.
