Things To Know Landscape of History Making Contact Hungarian Heritage The Good Old Days	Hungarian Heritage Hungarians have strong folk traditions and customs, especially music and dance. You can enjoy them at a dance house (táncház); there are several in Budapest. Bands usually include bagpipes and a hurdy-gurdy, and the dancing is fast and furious. In Kiskunság National Park, between the Danube and the Tisza river, a horse-drawn buggy takes visitors to see farmsteads, long-horned cattle and curly-horned Podokan sheep. There also are displays at Hortobágy National Park - Hungary's first national park. In the Cserhát hills of the north, the village of Hollókő sits at the foot of a 13th-century castle. The village is home to the Palóc people, who speak a distinct regional dialect and wear colorful embroidered costumes and elaborate headdresses. For another insight into Hungary's heritage, visit the famous Király thermal baths in Budapest and enjoy the luxury of a Turkish-style bath or massage.
