Merzse-mocsár, Protected wetland in Rákoskert, Hungary.
The Merzse-mocsár spans across 40 hectares near the Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport, featuring a network of trails through marshland and reed beds.
This wetland, officially designated as a protected area in 1977, represents the last remaining natural marsh system within the boundaries of Budapest.
The educational path, established in 2012, contains 15 stations with information boards detailing the native flora, fauna, and ecological processes of the wetland.
Visitors can reach the marsh by taking a 20-minute train ride from Budapest Keleti station to Rákoskert, followed by a 15-minute walk along marked paths.
The marsh maintains its natural water cycles, transforming from a dry reed bed during drought periods to a water-filled ecosystem after rainfall.
