Description

The birdlife along Halastó Nature Trail includes breeding and migrating species and is particularly valuable. In the last 35 years, nearly 300 species have been observed here, which makes the area one of the most important bird habitats in Central Europe.

Very nice observations are possible. Bluethroat at the entrance, a bunch of Bearded Tit at the end of the walk. The birdlist provides a list of species that has been observed by us.

We had no luck with Aquatic Warbler, Menetries's Warbler and Glossy Ibis, but should be possible in the area.
