Welcome to Daniel Bastaja's
Hungarian Nature Photos
Hungary occupies the greater portion of
a geographical feature known as the Carpathian Basin - a massive drainage basin bounded by the Alps on the west, the Carpathian Mountains to the north and east, and the Dinaric Alps to the south. It is characterized by flat expanses, and the extensive grasslands and wetlands are one of the most ecologically important areas in Europe.
