HUNGARY ~ Fertő-Hanság National Park - UNESCO ~

... Lots of wonderful views... a great new National Park and UNESCO site👍... it includes Ferto Lake one of the largest saltwater lakes in Europe... and the westernmost of the great continental lakes of Eurasia... the area has an amazing variety of landscapes, marshes, sandy beaches and steppe-aspect plains with a lot of rare flora... the surface of the lake bed is thickly covered in reeds and bulrushes, serving as a habitat for roosting, feeding and hiding for a large number of unique birds species, especially during the migrating seasons... there are museums, art galleries, castles, villages... thousands of tourists visit this National Park every year... Thanks a lot Laco!!ヽ(ヅ)ノ
