reach of the Eastern Main Canal runs along the boundary of the town in
north-south direction. This canal does not only serve the purpose of irrigation,
but is also a splendid place of relaxation for the locals and their guests
wishing to go in for swimming, boating, fishing or gardening in natural
surroundings. One of the natural values of the region, besides the fertile
agricultural areas, the gas fields and the medicinal water, is the abundance of
sunshine. The number of hours of sunshine reaches, or sometimes even exceeds,
two thousand hours on an annual average. That is to say, Hajdúszoboszló is one
of the sunniest regions in Hungary. The prevailing wind direction is
north-western. On the one hand, the micro-climate of the medicinal baths and the
surroundings, with the iodine content and salty humidity of the air, speeds up
recuperation, on the other hand, the visitors here always have a good chance to
enjoy fine weather, for to be sure, the number of winter days is merely 30-40,
with an average temperature of 0 °C, and the number of summer days with an
average temperature of 25 °C is 80-85.

Hajduszoboszlo
is located in the north- eastern part of the Great
Hungarian Plain, 200 kilometres east of Budapest, and 20 kilometres south-west
of Debrecen. Three regions meet one another at our town's boundary: the Hajdúhát
ridge from the north-north-east, Hortobágy from the north-north-west, and the
Great Sárrét and Berettyó region from the south. This is a landscape "where the
earth and the skies meet," it is not a monotonous plain, not even for travellers
accustomed to romantic mountains, sine here and there the landscape is enlivened
by the backwaters of the Tisza river with patches of reed, thousands of wild
fowl, and inviting groves. The surroundings are the renowned puszta, the
"glorious plain". Szoboszló lies at a height of scarcely 100-110 metres above
sea level and slopes down a little towards Hortobágy. We even have a "river" of
our own, a stream winding through the town,
the Kösely, which according to a
native of the town, Endre Hogyes (1847-1906), the famous physician and
scientist, is as characteristic of this place, as is the Danube of our capital
city.
