Outstanding Universal Value

Outstanding Universal Value

 

OUV is the key concept a site has to comply with to be inscribed in the World Heritage List. This means that the site has a feature that is unique and distinguishes it from any other place on Earth that is relevant for humankind.

In case of the Hortobágy National Park this particular asset is a cultural landscape shaped by pastoral societies for several millennia, maintaining traces of this traditional land use, as well as setting an example for harmonious co-existence of man and nature.
