Hungary: three thousand hectares minimum, and three thousand metres wide
A hunting area must reach 3,000 hectares, and its opposite boundaries must lie at least 3,000 metres apart.
Hungary's 1996 act on the protection of game, game management and hunting sets a size requirement far higher than its neighbours': a hunting area is land and water whose extent reaches three thousand hectares and whose opposite boundary lines lie at least three thousand metres apart, and where the game also finds the food it needs, its natural breeding conditions, and its natural need for movement, cover and quiet. The act then lists what does not count as a hunting area and must be left out of the area calculation: a settlement's built-up zone, fenced properties outside it serving as housing, farmsteads and estates, cemeteries, places fenced for purposes other than farming, forestry or game management, airfields, public roads — including, for a fenced road, the strip between carriageway and fence — and railway land. This double condition of area and width explains the Hungarian structure: hunting there is organised over large units managed by societies, not over individual parcels.
