Tokaj-Bodrogzugi Tájvédelmi Körzet

Tokaj-Bodrogzug is a protected landscape area featuring riverine wetlands, marshes, and rolling terrain in northeastern Hungary. The terrain combines flooded meadows, cultivated fields, and forested sections that together create a varied setting.

The area received official protection status in 1986 and gained international recognition as a Ramsar wetland site in 1989. The region has been documented as a wine-producing area for centuries, shaping its regional character.

This area forms part of the renowned Tokaj wine region, where vintners have practiced winemaking for centuries using established methods. The vineyards shape the landscape and remain central to local identity.

The best visiting period runs from March through October, when marked trails are accessible and bird watching proves most rewarding. Visitors should stick to established paths and prepare for wet ground conditions during changeable weather.

Kopasz Hill within the park is a volcanic peak featuring two distinct plant zones created by exposure differences: southern slopes host heat-loving plants while northern sides support mountain species. This natural division results from varying sun exposure and microclimate conditions.
