One of our favorite domestic holiday destinations is Lake Tisza (Hungarian: Tisza-tó), we go there every year for a couple of days. There you can find a good combination of village tourism, nature, sports and lakeside activities.
The Lake is the largest artificial lake in Hungary, which was created as part of the Tisza River flood control project. The first step was building the Tisza Dam in 1973, then they started filling it with water. It was finished in the 1990s, resulting in a 127 km² lake containing many small islands.
It is a paradise for birds and all sorts of animals like castors, turtles, deers and so on. The place provides places to nest, feed and rest for more than 200 species.
If you are ready to get up early I truly recommend participating in a fascinating early-dawn birdwatching boat trip with a local tour guide (all harbors organize such trips). The best periods for that are probably July, August or September.
You can see for example motionless grey herons standing as a statue, like the one I captured here. I love the way the bush is reflected on the water:
At the morning the water is quite cold, but the astonishing view and the peaceful quietness of the Lake is really great. Even my adolescent kids enjoy it, despite the 5 o'clock wake-up it takes. :-)))
Once we were lucky to see nests with few days old little birdies in them:
Varázslatos hely! Hogy sikerült lefotózni a kis fiókákat?
Imádjuk, nagyon jó szívvel ajánlom. Érdemes egy jó túravezetővel menni, csodákat lehet látni. Minden évben van valami újdonság, hol jégmadarat látunk, hol előttünk úszik át egy szarvas, hol hódokat csípünk el. Ebben az évben ezek a frissen kikelt fiókák voltak a legaranyosabbak. A kikötői túravezetők általában tudják, merre vigyenek, velük érdemes menni (márcsak azért is, mert rengeteg fatörzs van a vízben, ami nem látható és csúnyán meg tud fenekleni a csónak ha valaki nem ismeri a járást... :-))

I like this picture
Thanks a lot! :-)
Really wonderful pictures... Actually I want to do this... Bird watching in a boat sounds like an interesting adventure...
Have a nice day...
Yes, it is, you should try it once! :-))
Thanks a lot! Have a wonderful day!
I've heard about a few artificial lakes in the world like Zambia's Lake Karina, but this is the first time I'm hearing of Tisza. The images are stunning and I totally agree that it would be nice visiting the place. And are those water lilies on the water surface?
There are water lilies, too, but these on the photo are water caltrops (Trapa nathans).
:-)
Thanks for the kind words!

Looks like you had an awesome day. It looks beautiful.
I would get up early to spend a day like that.
Thanks a lot! It is really worth the effort, it is just awesome!
It looks absolutely amazing. I am pretty sure you've found the gem to bring peace. I could imagine myself being there, being quiet. Nothing but enjoying the scenic view that brought by the nature :)
Yes, it is really great! We love it!
How I wish to be there too! You're definitely lucky to be blessed with such beautiful nature :) See you around~
Thanks! :-)))
I hope you will also have such an experience!
Great Pictures!
Thank you! :-)
That looks like a massive construction project! It's kinda cool that the animals adopted it and moved in.
Yes, it is wonderful! :-)
Wow! Those are some wonderful pictures. I think it will be much nicer to be in such a beautiful place in person!
Oh, yes, it is great! I can recommend it! :-)
Csak egyszer voltam a Tiszánál, Mártélyon. Csodás hely, kedvem lenne felfedezni a Tisza környékét. A madárfiókák nagyon édesek, jó látni, hogy megvannak a védett madaraink.
Oh, még egy magyar, de jó!
Szuper, örülök, hogy rám írtál.
A Tisza-tó gyönyörű, abszolút jó szívvel ajánlom!
Jön a jó idő és egyre szívesebben mozdul ki az ember :) bár a telet is imádom nagyon
Én már várom a tavaszt... :-) Most már elég volt a hóesésből. :-)))
nekem még ma is jól esett :) az a baj inkább, hogy hamar elolvad. esik, elolvad, esik. szegény növények, és mi emberek. megvisel mindenkit.
