To see Hungarian cowboys in action, try a trip to Bugac, where horse shows are featured daily during the summer. This sandy puszta area of Hungary 78 mi/125 km southeast of Budapest, which is flat and rather bleak, is locally known for its traditional breeds of fork-horned cattle and twisted-horn sheep.
If you're driving between Budapest and Szeged, stop at Bugac by branching off the main highway at Kiskunfelegyhaza.
