(Hungarian: megye) in north-eastern Hungary
, bordering Slovakia
, Ukraine
and Romania
. It shares borders with the Hungarian counties Hajdú-Bihar
and Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén
. The capital of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county is Nyíregyháza

provides an illuminating example of this process. The Turks hardly succeeded in invading the northern parts of the region: therefore, many buildings from Árpád's age and the Medieval Era were preserved in relatively good state. In the Romanesque
church of Csaroda
, there are wall paintings dating back to the 13th century, and the Medieval churches of Nyírbátor
have been almost completely preserved. In the 16th century, the spread of Protestantism
and Calvinism
brought about changes in town life.
. It borders Ukraine
, Slovakia
and Romania
, and has good connections both by road
and rail
. Within Hungary, the county is bordered by Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén
county and the River Tisza to the north west and Hajdú-Bihar
county to the south west.
The early Hungarians transformed this region significantly by clearing large areas of forest to make way for pasture
s and plough-land. Approximately 5 to 6 square kilometres of forest
were cleared for the construction of the Szabolcs
earthwork in the ninth and tenth centuries and its ruins are still present. With the subsequent development of the country, the region became marginalized in the 15th century. On going civil war
, rebellion
and war
exacted a heavy price and further hindered the region's development.
The county's borders have been altered frequently over the years, its current territory being established in 1950 with the amalgamation of the counties of Szabolcs-Ung and Szatmár-Bereg-Ugocsa.
There are many forest
s, fields
, pasture
s, meadow
s and moorland
forests in the county. The bog
moss
moors at Csaroda
, the Nyíres lake and the Bábtava lake are especially valuable, as they contain many rare species of fauna and flora.
Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg is Hungary's sixth biggest county with a total land area of 5 936 square kilometres. From a geographical aspect, it is possible to divide the county into two main regions: The Upper Tisza Valley and the Nyírség. Tisza
is one of the most important river
s of the county, entering Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg — and Hungary — at Tiszabecs
, and leaving at Tiszadob
. Its segment in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county is 235 kilometres long, out of which 208 kilometres belongs to the Upper Tisza Valley, reaching the area of Tokaj
and Rakamaz
. The larger area named the Nyírség is derived from the word nyír meaning birch
, as the region is dominated by birch woodlands. The northern part of Nyírség is covered with sandy forest soils, the southern areas have loose wind-blown sand. Alluvial and meadow soils are found in the Upper Tisza region.
The county has a continental climate
; it is cooler than the Great Plain because it is further north. Summers are cooler than in other parts of the Plains. Annual precipitation
is 550-600 millimetres. The higher than average number of days of sunshine make ideal conditions for the growing of tomato
es, sunflower
, tobacco
, apple
s, and other fruit
s such as plum
s --for which the county is famous, being eaten fresh, dried into prunes (some made into lekvar
) and fermented into well-known brandies.
The county has 229 settlements, of which 20 are towns. The county capital and largest city is Nyíregyháza
with a population
of 116 900 in 2003. The other cities have relatively small populations, only those of Kisvárda
and Mátészalka
having around 18 000 inhabitants. The eastern part of the county is lightly populated and is dotted with small villages which often have very poor economic conditions.
s and river
s, but the Nyírség region has little surface water. The most important of River Tisza's tributaries is the River Szamos, which is also characterised by great variations in water volume. There are irrigation
systems, a water barrage
and a Hydroelectric power station on the Tisza at Tiszalök
.
Lakes of various sizes have evolved in sandy areas such as the basin of the Sóstó (Salty lake) of Nyíregyháza
, whose alkaline, hydrogen carbonated waters have medicinal qualities. Many water reservoirs have been built according to local demand. Thermal waters of 55-65 °C can be brought to the surface from wells as shallow as 1 000 metres. The most important thermal water reserves are in Nyíregyháza, Kisvárda, Mátészalka and Tiszavasvári. The county's geothermal energy still awaits exploitation.
The county has relatively few mineral
reserves. Almost all of the large energy source transport systems cross the county.
is well developed; its high capacity is able to meet the requirements of transit and bilateral trade. Following the reconstruction of the road
border crossing, the county is also able to cope with increased road transportation.
Several regions in the county have tourism
potential, mostly unexploited. Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg has several agricultural products of excellent quality, with capacity for higher production. There is an abundance of low-cost, semiskilled labour.
The county's biggest problem is the economic crisis. There is a shortage of local capital and inward investment
, which restrains the creation of new jobs, thus the unemployment rate remains the second highest in Hungary. Manufacturing lags the rest of the country, most notably lacking high quality, high value-added products. The marginal soil quality limits the scope of agricultural production to a few products which suffer from shrinking export markets to the east.
