Which cycling routes and tours suit your plans?
For a ride towards Tiszafüred, the cycling path, about 6.5 kilometres long, is a useful reference point: it starts at the embankment on the Poroszló side of the lake and leads to the existing cycling network in the urban area of Tiszafüred. Its separation from road traffic is a feature of this path. The stated length refers to this section, not to the entire circuit around the lake.

What can you do at Lake Tisza?
Tisza-tavi Strand Poroszló is directly accessible from Main Road 33. You can rent pedal boats, kayaks, and canoes there; bicycles are also available to rent. This lets you add a range of activities to your time by the lake: a trip on the water or an exploration on two wheels. The rental options listed are available at the beach.
For boat trips, the Tisza Lake Ecocentre offers GPS-guided tours on twelve routes. The routes vary in length and duration and pass through reed beds and winding waterways. One important detail for planning: these boat trips can be booked independently, without an admission ticket to the Ecocentre. This lets you choose a boat trip without combining it with a visit to the centre.
Built in 2012, the Tisza Lake Ecocentre houses a freshwater aquarium system described as the largest in Europe. The aquarium and boat trips thus offer two different perspectives on the freshwater world: one inside the centre and the other on the waterways between reeds and canals.
Where can you discover local culture and history?
Poroszló’s Tájház presents traditional folk crafts and insights into rural life. An original thatched farmhouse provides the setting. If you would like to learn about the cultural side of the town as well as the lake, the Tájház offers a different focus from the beach, cycling path, and boat trips.
Poroszló’s Reformed Church and Catholic Church are also among the town’s sights. Together with the Tájház, they provide a range of cultural points of interest, so you do not have to focus your stay solely on water activities.
