Karcag
This typical market town of the Puszta owes its fame to glazed and black pottery, quick-fingered lace-makers, colourfully embroidered long felt coats of herdsmen ('szűr'), spicy mutton paprikás and the Karcag milk loaf. The history of the region and its rich folk art can be seen in the Györffy István Nagykun Museum (4 Kálvin utca) and in the Regional House of Cumania Mayor, installed in a traditional Cumanian cottage at 16 Jókai utca. The works of the most famous Karcag potter, Sándor Kántor, including the traditional 'Miska' jugs of Karcag, are exhibited in the Pottery House (1 Erkel utca). Zádor Bridge is the only bridge in the country that does not stand over water due to the fact that the water in the riverbed beneath has long dried up. The southern entrance of the Hortobágy National Park is the Windmill Inn (1 Vágóhíd utca) presenting the special flora and fauna of the nearby Hortobágy. Of the sixty windmills that once were in service, only one from 19th century has survived (24 Vágóhíd utca).
