Hungary at a glance – The Southern Great Plain Region

Staying true to its mission of introducing international students to the culture, history, cuisine and landmarks of Hungary, the Stipendium Hungaricum Mentor Network has launched an educational video series covering nearly all aspects of the nation.

The episodes airing weekly on the network’s YouTube channel are the base material for an ongoing online quiz available on shmentor.hu with valuable and fun prizes to win at the end. The playlist now consisting of 17 episodes is expected to grow to a sizable 40 episodes covering Hungary with a voice-over from Dávid Kiss, the tourism coordinator of the network and breath-taking images showing the country’s charm and beauty.

In the seventh episode of the video series, you can learn in detail about the Southern Great Plain Region which lies in the southeast of the country and belongs to the Great Hungarian Plain. While the region is mostly characterised by beautiful flat grasslands and agricultural fields, you can also find wooded and even sandy areas with smaller villages and farms. During the video, you can learn about the city of Kecskemét, Szeged, and Békéscsaba, and their historical monuments, museums, and famous places. Check out the Southern Great Plain Region now and stay tuned for the next episode!
