Merzse Marsh

Merzse-mocsár

ParkLocal favourite

The last surviving piece of the marshes that once covered the Pest side, right next to Ferihegy airport and protected since 1977. A 6 km nature trail with 15 stations circles reed beds and open water, with a wooden tower for watching marsh harriers and reed warblers; more European pond turtles live here than anywhere else in the city.
