Hungary is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe and its capital Budapest is regarded as one of the most beautiful cities worldwide. Although it is a moderately small country in size, it is home to numerous World Heritage sites, UNESCO Biosphere Reserves, Lake Hévíz the second largest thermal lake in the world, Lake Balaton the largest lake in Central Europe, is one of the biggest tourist attractions of the country, and Hortobágy the largest natural grassland in Europe.
Hungary is landlocked and situated in the Carpathian Basin. Its two longest rivers the Danube and Tisza divide Hungary into three parts: Transdanubia to the west of the Danube, the plain between the Rivers Danube and Tisza, and the Trans-Tisza region to the east of the Tisza. Hungary's 'mountains' are at a maximum elevation of 1,000 metres and two-thirds of the country is less than 200 metres above sea level.
The country is rife with national parks and verdant natural beauty; Hortobágy, Kiskunság and Körös-Maros are situated on the Great Plain protecting the wildlife and fragile wetlands, marshes, and saline grasslands of the open puszta. Some are in the north in the densely wooded Bükk Hills and the Aggtelek region with its extensive system of karst caves. Danube-Ipoly is in Central Hungary, Balaton Uplands is in the West and Danube-Drava National Park is in the southwest, at the Croatian border. Őrség and Fertő-Hanság are at the Austrian border. Hungary is home to more than 2,000 flowering plant species, and a plethora of wildlife such as deer, wild hare, boars, and otters as well as some rare species like wild cats, lake bats and Pannonian lizards. It is also home to a myriad species especially waterfowls, which are attracted by the rivers, lakes, and wetlands.
