The Nine-Hole Bridge, built in 1833 and spanning the marshy Hortobágy River, is the longest – and certainly the most sketched, painted and photographed – stone bridge in the country. Just in front stands the still-operating Hortobágyi Csárda, one of the original eating houses (1781) used by salt traders on their way from the Tisza River to Debrecen. As you'll discover at the small Hortobágy Inn Museum inside, the inns provided itinerant Roma fiddlers with employment. Gypsy music and csárdak (inns) have been synonymous ever since.
