A good destination to visit in Hungary after the epidemic: Lake Fertő
Change language:
Fertő is Central Europe’s third-biggest lake, and its neighbourhood and environment are charming so it can be ideal for everybody to relax after the hard months of the coronavirus epidemic. Magyarorszagom.hu collected the wonders that await there.
Lake Fertő (Neusiedler See in German) is a shallow pond in the Austrian-Hungarian border. It is a member of UNESCO’s World Heritage list and though its surface is continually changing we can say that there are more than 300 square kilometres of water there to enjoy – magyarorszagom.hu reported.
The length of the lake is 36 kilometres while its width is between 7 and 15 kilometres. 60-70 pc of its surface belongs today to Austria (Burgenland) while the rest is in Hungary, in Győr-Moson-Sopron county. The average depth of the lake is 0.7 metres, but its water contains lots of salt and
the mud underneath is curative.
Interestingly, most of the lake is covered by reed with a rate of almost 80 pc in Hungary. For those who love cycling, Fertő is a perfect choice since there is an excellent asphalt path along the lake.
