Velence and Dinnyés Nature Conservation Area, Nemzetközi jelentőségű vadvizek jegyzékébe Dinnyés és Velence név alatt bejegyzett védett terület déli része
The Velence and Dinnyés Nature Conservation Area is a protected wetland in Fejér County, Hungary, encompassing two lakes and marshy areas. The landscape consists of shallow lakes, reed beds, open water, and grasslands that support insects, fish, amphibians, and numerous plant species.
The site received official recognition as a Ramsar wetland in 1979, gaining international status for its ecological importance. Historically, the area has been used for fishing and grazing, activities that shaped the landscape over many generations.
The area reflects traditional ways of life, with locals harvesting reeds and grazing animals in the meadows. These practices remain part of the region's identity and connect nature with everyday community activities.
Visitors can use observation towers to watch birds without disturbing wildlife, and follow walking paths through the wetlands to explore the area. It is important to follow protection rules and keep the area quiet and clean to help preserve the habitats.
The lake was once a single connected body of water that later separated into two distinct lakes, with one evolving into extensive reed beds. This natural transformation created different habitats that support different species and makes the area particularly varied for visitors to explore.
