that is the first to point of the cacheAfter the installed 5 years old Kiskörei-Dam has born the Tisza-Lake, that is 30 years old this year.
By this time bulking has reached the plannned level. What has happend in the last 25 years? The nature with human resources it become the second largest lake in Kárpát-Basin.Growing up an exceedingly diversified water area, that is not a big loch, I'd ten times rather divide it to islands, dead-chanels, and land area. Europe's bird of passing have a rest here, with people who live there, and other tourists come to visit have a resting, fishing and trekking ability.
Accordingly Tisza-lake is a lonesome nature reservation area.On 30 hectars laying fairyrose are supreme in Europe, but the fairy-voile can found on larger area. Dividing the lake you can find forrests, mosses, and seeweedy part.
The wild life is rich in fishes, for example: carp, pike, cat-fish, bream. In a forrest area live the saker, black-stork, and spoonbill.3 parts of the lake offers different tourist attractions, and programs.
North part of the lake is stictly protected, near Tiszacsege, Egyek, Tiszadorogma, Tiszabábolna, Tiszavalk.At the middle part eco-tourism is important. Beach is also found there.Last part of it, is used for watersport activities.I think this area is deserv that geocache wont be only at the coast, I placed it inside, with the my purpose, you will try the rowing.
The cache is in a magical island, called Óhalászi.This is a multi cache with 2 points.
One is at memorycolumn, and the other is a cache.
But the memory column is only important if you need a password for the hungarian page..

This trip (with back) was 16km. It takes 4 hours, with a beginner team, who has never been before in a boat.
