At Tófürdő, tree-lined relaxation areas, paths and a protected reed bed shape Kunfehértó’s connection to nature. If you’re looking for accommodation in Kunfehértó, you can choose where to stay based on whether you want your visit to focus on the lake and nature. The wider destination of Bács-Kiskun also offers distinct cultural and nature themes.
Terrain, beach and reed bed
Tófürdő is set on an almost four-hectare, tree-lined site. It is divided into grassy relaxation areas, service facilities and paths. The beach water slopes gently; there is also a recently created sandy beach area. As beach facilities may change, it is advisable to check the latest conditions before visiting. A nationally protected reed bed provides a habitat for several specially protected species. The beach features and reed bed represent two distinct aspects of nature at Tófürdő: the lakeside setting and the habitat of protected species.
Walks and hiking
A nature trail runs around the swimming and fishing lakes, offering information about the local flora and fauna and the past and present of Tófürdő as you walk. It is therefore an option for a stroll that combines natural history with local history. Hikers can discover Kunfehértó’s natural treasures along the Alföldi Kéktúra. The two routes have different focuses: the nature trail brings together information about the lakes, their surroundings and Tófürdő, while the Kéktúra highlights Kunfehértó’s natural treasures from a hiking perspective.
