Cibakháza Tisza-Backwater

Cibakháza Tisza-Backwater is a water system near the town of Cibakháza with extensive banks lined by trees and vegetation. The body of water features calm surfaces and natural inlets that branch off from the main channel.

This water system formed as a result of the Tisza River regulation project, which reshaped the local hydrology and land use patterns. The engineering works transformed how water moved through the region and influenced settlement and farming practices.

Local fishing traditions remain central to community life, with regular events organized by the Cibakházi Vegyesüzemi Horgász Egyesület fishing association.

The waterway can be accessed from several points along its length, though some spots are easier to reach than others. Visitors should check local conditions and understand that certain activities may require permissions from local authorities.

The area underwent targeted ecological management in 2024 to control invasive fish species while protecting native populations. These efforts aimed to restore natural balance to the water system's fish communities.
