Review & FAQ:

Nestled right in the middle of the Great Hungarian Plain, Lake Tisza is a large man-made lake created in the 1990s by the damming of the Tisza River. Today, the lake is a popular tourist destination and the shores are lined with plenty of recreational areas, campsites, and places to rent boats, kayaks, and other watersports equipment. There are 16 islands and 10 water channels in the lake, making it an excellent place to explore by canoe or by kayak. The lake is also one of the few in Europe that permit the use of powerboats and jet skis.
