Kányavár Island – Grounded Paradise

The lush green area of Kányavár Island is open for visits all year round. Surrounded by the Zala River and the western reservoir of Lake Kis-Balaton, the small island can be approached via a unique wooden bridge, which has become a symbol of Lake Kis-Balaton.

Navigating the island is facilitated by the Búbos Vöcsök educational trail, consisting of 15 stations and approximately 1.5 km in length, making it comfortably walkable within an hour. Information boards placed here showcase the diverse world of bird species inhabiting the area, and with a bit of luck, visitors may witness some of the most magnificent representatives of the rich birdlife. In the middle of the island, there is a multi-level birdwatching station made of wood, offering a splendid view of the surrounding landscape, and if we are attentive enough, we may even spot birds swimming on the water or hiding in the reeds from above.

At the end of the tour, children are welcomed by a brand new playground, where parents can also relax. Resting and bonfire facilities are available on the island, with barbecue areas and benches awaiting hikers.
