Tiszadada Beach

The Tisza river almost embraces, cherishes and nurses this village of about 2,000 people, hence the name “dada” which means nanny, nurse in Hungarian. The river here has a unique beach, which is both sandy and natural, so this riverbank is different every year and gives a great place to relax. The water quality in this part of the Tisza river according to the annual measurements of the European Environment Agency (EEA) has been rated excellent every year since 2017!

The floodplain still preserves the wild and unspoilt ancient, watery world of the Alföld. Declared a protected area in 1977, the 1,030 hectares of backwaters, hardwood and softwood forests provide shelter for the former rich wildlife of the Tisza river. The waters of the backwaters are also excellent fishing areas.

The Kesznyéteni Landscape Protection Area starts on the west side of Tiszadob, about 40-50 minutes by bike from our campsite. The area is characterised by a diversity of habitats. It is managed by the Bükk National Park Directorate, which offers a wide range of tourist programmes. Organised excursions, with the help of binoculars, give you an insight into the daily life of the bird species protecting their territory or already rearing their chicks. We can observe the ground squirrels that frolic near their burrows, listen to the jackals that play on summer nights or witness the famous Tisza blooming with Tisza mayflies.

Fehér-szik lies 4 km east of Tiszavasvári, along the road 36. A saline lake is a natural or semi-natural wetland whose bed is permanently or intermittently covered with surface water containing minerals. The water regime of the lake is entirely weather-dependent due to its low discharge. The real value of the site lies in the diversity of its habitats and the diversity of its birdlife. Surveys have confirmed the nesting of 41 bird species. The observation tower at the western edge of the lake is used to study the wheatear and little crake, while the low, booming call of the wood sandpiper can often be heard in the reed beds.
