Ungarn

Hungary, located in the heart of Europe, offers photographers an impressive variety of subjects. The Danube River divides Budapest into two parts, connected by iconic bridges, and shapes the capital’s skyline. Budapest is considered one of Europe’s most photogenic cities: the Parliament building along the riverbank, Fisherman’s Bastion overlooking Pest, and Buda Castle are world-famous landmarks that reveal different moods depending on the time of day and season.

Beyond the urban architecture, Hungary offers wide plains, rivers, forests, and lakes. Lake Balaton, often called the “Hungarian Sea,” is a favorite destination. It provides atmospheric opportunities for sunset photography, sailing scenes, and lively summer moments. Equally captivating is the Puszta region, with its endless horizons and traditional horse shows, creating unique photographic impressions.

For nature photographers, Hungary is rich in bird species, wetlands, and national parks. Hortobágy National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is known for its cultural landscape and remarkable biodiversity.

The Tenckhoff Photo Archive focuses not only on Hungary’s major sights but also on less familiar perspectives. Away from tourist routes, photographs capture both everyday details and striking highlights: historic streets, vibrant markets, thermal baths, and traces of the country’s diverse history.

Hungary is a land of contrasts and a constant source of photographic inspiration – from monumental architecture and expansive landscapes to intimate moments of daily life.
