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!

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.
