Description

The Dubringer Moor is a big mire and nature conservation area. The path through the area includes mires, fish ponds and various forest types. The highligth is the observation tower, from where you can watch "singing" Sárszalonka, Rétisas, breeding cigánycsuk, breeding Tövisszúró gébics and breeding and resting Daru.

The fishponds are still in use and interesting for e.g. Jégmadár & Énekes hattyú. For harvesting fish they were regularly drained and provide habitat for inland-waders like Erdei cankó and Kis lile. The ponds are also hunting habitat for Rétisas, Halászsas and Barna kánya.

Access

You are not allowed to go by car inside the area, but walking and going by bike is fine. Do NOT trust all the tracks, that were painted on online-maps, some end in the mire or are forbidden, due to nature conservation! Follow the drawn routes here on this map! Many tracks/paths are dead-end! You can easily get disoriented / lost in the south-western and western forest part of the drawn track, but with a GPS / Mobile Phone you can navigate easily! Due to high water levels, tracks can be flooded or be very muddy!
