Lake Feher

Lake Fehér is one of the best lakes to visit in Hungary. Because it is white, it is given the name Fehér (White). It is located just to the north of the town of Szeged and is a component of the Kiskunság National Park. It has a 14 square kilometer area. Hungary's largest saltwater lake is called Lake Fehér. Due to its historical vegetation and 280 different bird species, it is strictly protected. The region is a crucial resting and feeding location for European birds during their migration. On Lake Fehér, large flocks of cranes, wild geese, and teal species can be seen during the migratory season.

In the year 1075, the lake was first referenced in writing. Up until the early 19th century, the Tisza River frequently inundated the region. The lake was formerly one of the Great Hungarian Plain's typical brackish lakes. These salty, shallow lakes have cloudy water caused by colloidal lime salts and a buildup of greyish-white carbonic lime silt on the lake bed. The salt "blossoms" on the lakebed when the lakebed dries out, as it occasionally does to some extent.
