What it is

About 3 km from the centre, in the protected natural area of the Fényes springs, a wooden walkway on stilts winds past pools of clear karst water, reed beds and marshes. You see the water welling up from the bottom, aquatic plants, birds and, depending on the time of year, yellow irises in spring and water lilies in early summer. It can be walked in an hour at an easy pace.
