The features of the neighbouring areas appear in the nature view. So the sand-hills of Nyrsg spread over the borders and form the land in the north-east. The western part is the Hortobgy, a great flat area of the country. The county of Hajd-Bihar occupies the eastern part of Hungary. Most of its territory is absolutely flat and is part of the Grand Plain region. The highest point hardly rises over 170,5 metres in the north. It seems that the county slopes to the south because the lowest point is situated in this part of Hajd-Bihar and hits the 85 metres highth (or properly "lowth"). The wind and the nearby rivers formed and shaped the land for thousands of years. First the area of the present Hungary was occupied by an inland sea. Then, after some underground movement, the huge peaks of the Carpathians rised from this sea. The wild and rapid rivers of the mountains slowly made that inland sea disappear. After the great Hungarian plains were formed by the alluvial deposits of the rivers, the wind began to work and from the great rocks became smaller and smaller sand-grains, the socalled loess. This covers thickly the Hajd-Bihar plains as well and ensures good crop in the agriculture. There are two great rivers in this area, the Tisza (pronounce Teesa) and the Krs (pronounce: Kerresh). The Hortobgy part was formed by the first one. It used to be the flood area of the Tisza river and after it was controlled the Hortobgy went dry. That's why the special fauna developed in the Hortobgy.
