[Nature]
Surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains, Hungary lies in the Hungarian Basin, which spreads across the Danube and its tributary, the Tisza. Most of the country is plain, but there are some changes on the border of the Danube. East of the Danube is a large plain called the Alföld, most of which was marshland until the late 19th century, but as flood control progressed it turned into water-scarce sandy grassland (pusza), and after World War II it was irrigated on a large scale and cultivated. The area west of the Danube, except for the Little Alföld in the north, is a gently undulating plateau, and between them lies Lake Balaton, the largest lake in Central Europe, which stretches from east to west.
