A nice place to go birdwatching especialy in the summer. There is an observation tower you can visit and lots of different kinds of birds to see.

Description

Nice 4 km circular walk. The migration of birds can be observed from an observation tower in spring and autumn. Good for a relaxing day of birding. Although be sure to bring bug repelent in spring and summer. You can encounter birds such as Énekes hattyú, Nádi sármány, barázdabillegető, fenyőrigó, Kerceréce, Fütyülő réce, Kontyos réce, Küszvágó csér and many more. On the route there are multiple outdoor campfire places you can use to rest. They make for good spots to look for birds.
