Description

The Rusanda Nature Park is characterized by significant biodiversity of plants and animals, predominantly birds. The area is dominated by the Rusanda salt lake which attracts many shorebirds, especially during migration seasons, including Courlis cendré, Courlis corlieu, Échasse blanche, Avocette élégante, Barge à queue noire, Combattant varié, Bécasseau variable, Bécasseau cocorli, Bécasseau minute, Bécasseau sanderling, Grand Gravelot, Petit Gravelot, Pluvier argenté, and Pluvier doré. The mud from the lake is used by the "Rusanda" Special Rehabilitation Hospital (also known as 'Rusanda Spa') for therapeutic treatments since 1867.

The park surrounding the spa is a home for a breeding colony of Faucon kobez, Faucon crécerelle, Corbeau freux, and Choucas des tours, many songbirds like Chardonneret élégant, Verdier d'Europe, Mésange bleue, Roitelet huppé, Hirondelle rustique, and Hirondelle de fenêtre as well as a wintering location for Hibou moyen-duc.

In the reeds and saline meadows around the lake common are Bruant des roseaux, Rémiz penduline, Panure à moustaches, Rousserolle turdoïde, Rousserolle effarvatte, Bruant proyer, and Alouette des champs.

The saline lake covers a surface of 4 km2, and its water is of similar salinity to the sea. It has been speculated that Rusanda lake is one of the remnants of the ancient Pannonian Sea, but the lake is probably a fossil bed of the Tisza river.

There are two birding observation towers. One is at the lake shore near the Spa buildings, from where shorebirds and waterbirds can be observed. The second one is far at the northwest edge of the lake, where common are shorebirds and saline grassland species.
