Lake Szelid, Protected lake in Kiskunság National Park, Hungary.

Lake Szelid extends for 5 kilometers with a width of 150 to 200 meters, reaching depths of 4 meters within Bács-Kiskun County.

Archaeological excavations at Várdomb sand dune on the southern shore revealed 3000-year-old urns from the Migration Period, now displayed in Hungarian National Museum.

The lake area maintains traditional fishing practices while supporting nature conservation efforts to protect local flora and fauna species.

Visitors can access multiple recreational facilities along the shoreline, including designated swimming areas and camping grounds near Kalocsa.

The water contains a specific mixture of sodium carbonate, magnesium salts, and sodium iodide, hosting 29 species of blue-green algae.
