Mártély

We did not take public transport to visit this site but it is near a popular holiday site so if you want to visit it, it is possible without a car. 
We chose the shortest way to the site but it was bit of a surprise when we arrived to the river Tisza and there were no bridge there... well it turned out that we should take a ferry boat/bridge and actually it was quite fast (however one has to pay for it).


Not in an excellent condition but a well used raft on the river Tisza.


In the floodplain of Tisza the holiday houses stand on poles. Sometimes this additional 2-3 meters isn't sufficient and the house can be completely flooded.


This is already the lovely Ramsar site. The lawn is still empty and very green.


Floodplain forest at spring time. There was not much animal visible but we had nice weather and marvelous lighting.


There are some pools filled with water in the middle of the forest. 



Moss on the bark of the trees.



The is the backwater of river Tisza.


Dead trees can be really good for some bird species. On the other hand it is possible that guano of cormorants can kill trees (such as on the pictures but it is not confirmed by local personnel).



The study trail of this site is not that well kept and some development is needed. Description is missing, however everything is from wood. 



Fares for the ferry boat on the Tisza (not the only way to get to the site and there is a lunch break for the staff so if you arrive in the wrong time you should wait a bit).
