The Fertő-Hanság National Park (in Hungarian: Fertő-Hanság Nemzeti Park) in a national Park in North-West Hungary in Győr-Moson-Sopron county. It was created in 1991, and officially opened together with the connecting Austrian Neusiedler See National Park the same year. The park covers 235.88 km².

Lake Fertő is the third largest lake in Central-Europe, and the westernmost of the great continental salt lakes of Eurasia.Lenght 35 Km  spread 7- 15 Km deepness 50 – 180 cm,
surface 309 Km2. Inlet burns are Wulka and Rákos. Water, rippling reed beds, sweeping meadows with flat saltwater pools - this ist the National Park known as the Neusiedler See Lakes Area. The Pannonian climate with its long growing period and its position between the Alps and the Puszta determine the type of plant life: mosaics of dry meadow surrounded by wetlands and salt marshes. The National Park is full of wildlife, mainly birds: meadow sandpipers, geese, herons, storks, curlews and birds of prey. The mammal most popular amongst visitors is the funny little suslik, or ground squirrel, that lives in the short grass of the pastures.

Guided Tours – Canoe tour in the reed of Lake Fertő

 

On an adventurous 6 km long canoe tour along the western shore of Lake Fertő we introduce flora and fauna of the reed, channels and the inner lakes enclosed in the reed. The route leads along the channels cut into the dense reed of the Lake Fertő into an almost untouched world, to the place between the Csárdakapui Channel and the Lake Kláder, where numerous wonders await the visitor. Among them maybe the most interesting are the invertebrate-eating golden-flowered bladderwort, the reed songbirds (Great Reed Warbler, Sedge Warbler, Bearded Tit), the Great Egret, the Purple Heron, the Coot and various duck species.

The nature trail starts at the entrance of the Csárdakapui-channel situated halfway between the settlements Balf and Fertőrákos. (GPS: 47°40’41.95 N  ;  16°40’38.48 E ) Parking is possible at the channel.

The program starts with a definite number of participants, between the middle of May and the middle of September. Visitors under 14 years old may only participate under adult supervision. We suggest the use of appropriate clothing, hat and insect repellent. The duration of the tour is 3 hours. In the case of doubtful we cannot undertake the organization of the program.

A programokhoz előzetes időpont-, és létszámegyeztetés szükséges.
