Szenvedélyünk a puszta: A gémeskutak öröksége – Hoffmann Károly története

In the episode of the series Our Passion is the Plain: The Heritage of the Gémeskutak – The Story of Károly Hoffmann, we present one of the most important, yet little-known treasures of Hortobágy: the ancient Gémeskutak and the people who still keep them alive today. Nature conservationist Károly Hoffmann has been a committed advocate of nature conservation since childhood. In his work, he is now responsible for the maintenance of more than 40 heron wells, which are essential not only for watering livestock, but also for preserving the cultural and historical values of the landscape. 🔧 How does a 200-year-old well work in the 21st century? 💧 Why is water the basis of everything in the desert? 📜 How did the Gémeskút become the oldest "telephone" of the plain?
