Ócsa Protected Landscape Area

The area contains 3,575 hectares of diverse habitats including wetlands, reed plots, meadows, forests, and grasslands located at the intersection of Alföld plains and Gödöllő hills.

Established in 1975, the protected area encompasses territories of three settlements - Ócsa, Inárcs, and Dabas - preserving one of the last remaining marshes of Duna-Tisza köze.

The region features an 'old village' containing 18th-century structures, including farmhouses and thatched buildings that represent traditional Hungarian rural architecture.

Visitors can participate in birdwatching research programs throughout the year, observing species such as aigrettes, herons, brown harriers, and various wetland birds.

The survival of rare plant and animal species in this area stems from unsuccessful 19th-century draining attempts that maintained continuous water supply to the marshlands.
