National parks during quarantine – Travel



[ad_1]

While people were quarantined waiting for the coronavirus epidemic to subside, life in the wild didn’t stop for a minute – the real miracles happened in national parks in recent months.

There were places where the wonders of new life gilded everyday life, discoveries never seen elsewhere have come to light, but the parks that are slowly reopening in the future are certainly worth a visit. We show you some of the country.

Miracles in the Hortobágy National Park

The Hortobágy National Park Directorate has repeatedly reported on its Facebook page how many wonderful new lives the protected park world expanded in the spring, as people spent their daily lives in quarantine.

The miracle of life has been demonstrated several times in recent months in Hortobágy: after the racka sheep, the park also announced the birth of wild foals, wild rabbits, and a vulture chick.

Among other things, the seagulls arrived, the black and white storks, the bubbling benches returned to the areas belonging to the board, not to mention that the reception spaces in the national park were further built and beautified, awaiting the reopening.

The bustard wedding dance in Kiskunság

In Kiskunság National Park, woodpeckers, sea turtles and many more animals returning to Hungary enjoy spring, however the most spectacular phenomenon is clearly the crackle of the bustard in the meadow. Photos of the biggest desert bird wedding dance by Film Jungle have also been posted on the park’s Facebook page.

An important event in the national park in the recent period is that the Őrjeg area and its vineyards has received the title of natural park, increasing the number of natural parks to 16 in Hungary.

Live fossils on the Danube island.

The Danube-Ipoly National Park protected area also expanded in late March, with Süttői Island and the triple archipelago from Tát to Esztergom: Táti Island, Körtvélyes Island, and Nyáros Island. In addition, specimens of an ancient species that existed in unchanged form 250-300 million years ago, the Spring Shield Crab, also known as a living fossil, have been discovered on the island of Táti.

The park also recently reported that cave investigators had discovered new hitherto unknown passages in Dino hiding places near Csobánka, and the discoveries made it the third-deepest cave in Pilis at a depth of 100 meters.

The national park repeatedly encouraged youth and adults alike to explore and protect the environment around the home, and then invited people for a joint birding at home, with lots of bird photographs of families from thrush, mugworts, kings and many other garden dwellers.

Life in the Balaton Highlands

The fauna of the areas that belong to the direction of the Balaton Uplands National Park also expanded even more, since in addition to the births, the swallows and storks came home, and the field that surrounds the lake came alive.

National park workers also reported caring for a young winged otter in Kis-Balaton – it is heartwarming to see the huge animal quietly entrusting itself to its rescuers.

Some of the reception areas in the national parks in our selection and beyond are also gradually opening their doors to visitors, but you can learn about current regulations, exact entry conditions and details on their Facebook pages and websites.
