Remark The category "A" was changed to "C" because „Naturpark” in Hungary is not a traditionally used category for protecting flora fauna and habitats. It is more a municipal-residential-NGO initiative for nature conservation, ecoturistic, environmental education, extensive farming purposes. The area has slight legislative background because the minister gives contribution declaration for using the name of Naturpark. The area of the Naturparks is fairly large because mostly the whole area of the contributing municipalities is counted into the area.
