Description:
The Pannonian Steppe is the typical kind of steppe found in Central Eastern Europe. It stretches out from Neusiedler See in Austria, over the Hungarian Plains, Romania and Ukraine. Hortobagy National Park lies in East Hungary and contains three types of steppe: the alkaline puszta, the loess puszta and the marshy puszta.
This image shows the loess steppe during summer. Two Marsh Harriers, Circus aeruginosus, are fighting above the steppe.
