puszta

Central European plain

Puszta is the vast treeless grassland of Hungary, similar to steppe or prairie.

The term evokes the distinctive Hungarian landscape of the Great Plain—flat, windswept, traditionally home to shepherds and their flocks.

The horses galloped across the puszta.

The word appears in English mainly in travel writing or discussions of Central European geography.
