Lake Tisza is one of the most exciting destinations in Hungary for tourists looking for activity based holidays that can be enjoyed in a natural environment.

Lake Tisza offers you a special blend of nature and water not found anywhere else in Central Europe.

visitors sitting in a rowing-boat can watch, at a distance and take photos of birds or walk in islands linked by vaulted wooden bridges, or climb up bird-watching towers to scan the boundless bog lands and vast expanses of aquatic plants inhabiting the lake. They can walk in forests scattered over several-kilome-

Lake Tisza is an Ecotouristic Island of Hungary. This statement is made unchallengeable by the very existence of the visitor centre of Lake Tisza, the Lake Tisza EcoCenter.
The marvelous scenes of Lake Tisza and the Tisza Valley that had remained hidden until recently are now displayed on 4 floors over 2,600 sq.m, irrespective of the season and the weather conditions. The main attraction is Europes largest freshwater aquarium used simultaneously as Hungarys rst water zoo designed and built to display autochthonous species. Both its dimensions and its complexity makes this system of aquaria of more than 1 million cubic metre capacity a unique facility. In addition to shes and amphibians, visitors can study habitats found in the Tisza Valley that nature organised as mini-ecosystems.

Each locality along the shores of Lake Tisza has its harbour but you should know, as well, that the most abounding natural environment can be found in the middle and northern section of the lake. The harbours of Lake Tisza can not be compared to those built at Lake Balaton or along the Danube. They are renowned for the broad variety of services oered to hikers and anglers and, in general, for the tranquil and quiet atmosphere and the proximity of nature. One can choose from among the trips proposed in the harbours. It is important to remember that good excursions al-

In addition to the route directions, the diversity of the trips depend on the timing and the destinations to be visited. You can opt to make photos of the hazy glimmer of water surfaces at dawn or the romantic sunset views or observing the evening bust ling of beavers. Although a system of guide signs assists you in nding your way over the surface of Lake Tisza, it is advisable to hire a tour guide for the rst excursion because he can help you nd the best directions and call your attention to numerous places of interest and the small wonders of nature.

A peculiar feature of Lake TiSZa:

islANDs ABOUND iN EVERY sizE


The articial creation of Lake Tisza brought about a sort of diversity not experienced anywhere else in Central Europe: a world of islands or the lake of thousand islands.
You should not expect to see the scenery islands of the South Seas adventure movies and they do not resemble Margaret Island in Budapest, either. Some of them are too small to accommodate two people, while others are covered by awe-inspiring forests interlaced with tendrils of grape ivy. HowThe halszi Island is the most peculiar of all the large islands. The one-time prosperous shing village had been destroyed by oods of River Tisza squeezed between dykes built in the second half of the 1800s rather than the formation of Lake Tisza. Today, a memorial site, a bird-watching tower and a labyrinth await tourists to this island and the descendants of earlier inhabitants living in jlrincfalva preserve the memory of Tiszahalsz. People unfamiliar with Lake Tisza would not presume that the numerous touristic attractions around the lake can also be found on islands, like our educational trails.

The most romantic island of Lake Tisza is Bulti Island located on the lakes northern segment and whose shape is characteristic to islands developing in rivers. It is several hundred metres long coupled with a mere 50 metre in width. If you happen to pass by Sluice-way No. IX, you should cast anchor for a short time just opposite to the inux.

Since childhood, everybody cherishes a desire to enjoy the royal road to romance. Here you can gratify your desires.

The natural landscape of Lake Tisza changes continuously. Quite frequently, moorlands, reed-beds and large clusters of bulrush deve lop from one year to the next. While there are vast open water surfaces with no vege tation. This makes tourism around and over the lake a thrilling and romantic experience.

Birds are the most spectacular inhabitants of Lake Tisza and the lakes protected area was named after them: the Bird Nature Reserve of Lake Tisza.
Lake Tisza plays a crucial part in the birds life by providing places to nest, feed and rest for more than 200 species. We recommend everyone to participate in early-dawn birdwatching trips during the best periods, in July, August or September. You can see motionless grey herons standing on a stump and holding, in the next moment, a sh wriggling in its ble the weapon of the Middle Ages. Also, we can see great cormorants and their rarely encountered small siblings, the pygmy cormorants, in addition to great white egrets, night herons or, as of mid-July, the most charming species of herons, the squacco herons. A special moment can be enjoyed when a kingsher, the most colorful bird of the lake, also known as the ying gem tries its wings above the water of the sluice-way. The clusters of nests should not be approached and, really, it is better to observe the birds undisturbed while they are eating. Lake Tisza plays an important role in facilitating bird migration. The lake and the ad-

Anyone wishing to see a truly swarming ight of birds should come to Lake Tisza after the arrival of the rst cold air, in November and December. Then, you can watch thousands of wild geese and mallards resting on the water and feeding from the muddy bottom of the lake whose level is adjusted to the winter circumstances.

The approx. 4 metre high dykes of Lake Tisza run around the lake crossing the boundaries of 4 counties, acting as a continuous natural lookout post for observing the peerless beauty of this magical waterworld, Lake Tisza.

Bathing in Lake Tisza

This is an exceptional route because the bicycle track runs around the lake with practically no altitude dierence and is closed to public traffic. It is ideal for beginners, elderly people and for families with small children. In addition to the exceptionally comfortable riding conditions, the cyclist-friendly environment (service stations, rent-a-bike services, childfriendly and protective gear, tour guides and 1200 km long recommended routes) makes organis- ation of short or longer trips between spring and autumn a great choice.

Members of the Lake Tisza Tourism Centre Network located in almost every lakeside locality between Tiszajvros and Karcag are glad to oer their assistance. The most favoured route includes crossing the lake by riding on Highway No.33. Until the completion of a separate cyclist track that is being built to increase safety of the riders, it is safe, comfortable and enjoyable to cross the lake by ferry operated at Tiszadorogma, Tiszacsege, Nagykr and Tiszaro where restaurants, bars and buets await tired cyclists. The very sight of the lake induces relaxation, but the real pleasure comes when immersing in the water for refreshment and a coolling sensation.

A shorter or longer detour could reasonably be inserted in our bicycle itinerary, heading towards the Heves Plain, the Borsod Champaign-land, the Hortobgy or even towards Nagykunsg.
Riding around Lake Tisza provides a special experience. One should recognise, however, the multitude of marvelous natural scenery, nation-

al parks, nature and landscape conservation regions and cheerful villages that are here to be explored. The maps provided in the tour centres suggest two types of routes for the cyclists. Either you ride along public roads of moderately dense traffic, connecting small localities to be discovered or, more frequently, along dirt roads or the top of dikes for people wanting to discover real o-the-beaten-track nature. We recommend these latter routes only to experienced cyclists riding trek bicycles, in dry weather.

FOR ROOKiEs AND FOR tHE EXPERiENCED


Lake Tisza is contiguous to Hortobgy, Europes largest steppe. This fact, in itself, is sufficient to remind us of the possibilities for horse riding.
In addition, we have several arguments to say that horse riding really must be tried in this environment. There are only a few equestrian farms in this region, but they oer ideal riding programs for everyone, such as riding camps for children or lead riding for novice adults. One thing is certain: anyone sufficiently experiAdvanced riders can ride on horseback around the lake. The 100 km route can easi ly be covered in three days. Unlike the prog rams oered at other places, here you can enjoy breaking into a gallop neck and neck with eight to ten other horses, occupying the greensward that stretche beside the dikes, crossing the river by ferry or taking a bath in the river. We can feel the overlapping of various ages when the hoofs of our horses thud against the bridge of the Stepped Weir at Kiskre, riding on Hungarys largest hydroelectric facility, while using one of the most ancient means of transport.

In Hungary, there are not many options to take part in riding trips in more remote parts of the country. However at Lake Tisza, this is possible and visitors can enjoy being part of exciting horse riding events, which can not be experienced in riding centres in the suburbs of big cities.

A trip like this gives you the feeling of unrestricted freedom and you can fall in love, for ever, with the steppe and the shore of the lake.
