About 10 km from Szeged, between km 157–158 of Main Road E5, lies the renewed visitor site of the Kiskunsági Nemzeti Park.
The visitor center consists of two parts. The permanent exhibition of the former Tisza Valley Exhibition House presents the characteristic habitats and protected natural values of the Lower Tisza region. In the newly built Kurgan House, Kornél Kuvik introduces visitors—through an interactive exhibition—to the characteristic protected geological treasures of the Great Hungarian Plain, the (Cuman) burial mounds known as kurgans. Visitors can gain insight into the diverse world of steppes and grasslands, as well as into the life of our ancestors. They can also learn how history intertwines with traditions and nature conservation.
An installation showcasing the vibrant wildlife of the alkaline lakes—such as the former Fehér Lake of Szeged—has also been placed inside the building. The Sirály Nature Trail, starting behind the complex, leads to a lookout tower offering a view over the bird paradise of Fehér Lake.
Guided tours of the exhibition can be complemented with a guided excursion (1–1.5 hours) to Fehér Lake near Szeged.
Guided tour (exhibition): HUF 900/person, discounted ticket: HUF 600/person
Guided tour with excursion: HUF 2000/person, discounted ticket: HUF 1500/person
Guided tours and excursions are available upon prior appointment.
