Boronka-melléki Tájvédelmi Körzet

The Boronka-melléki Protected Landscape is a conservation area in Somogy featuring a network of fishponds surrounded by forests, wetlands, and sandy grasslands. The area connects different natural habitats that support a range of plant and animal life.

The fishponds and narrow-gauge railways in the region were developed after World War I by local landowners. This infrastructure shaped the landscape and is now preserved as part of the protected area.

The park serves as a refuge for many bird species and other wildlife that depend on the wetlands for feeding and breeding. Visitors come here to observe nature and walk quietly through the forests and pond areas.

The park is accessible through marked hiking trails that lead through different sections of the area. Visitors should bring waterproof clothing since many paths cross through wet and damp zones.

The park is home to a variety of amphibian species living in the ponds and wetlands, some found nowhere else nearby. These creatures are indicators of the area's ecological health and depend entirely on the aquatic habitats.
