Mayfly Hatching in the Zemplén Nature Reserve


Every year at the beginning of June a magical event happens along the Tisza and Bodrog Rivers – Europe’s largest mayflies (Palingenia longicauda) hatch and swarm. This spectacular event marks their extremely short 1-2 day lives! The swarm hatches on the Bodrog during the first week of June, and generally on the Tisza a week later. Call us on June 2 for a more precise time.

Date and Time: June 6-7*  16:00

Location: Bodrogzug - Bodrogkeresztúr

Meeting Point: Bodrogkisfalud ferry

Distance and Duration: 4 km, 2 hours

Tickets: 4000 Huf/person, 2000 Huf/student or senior citizen

Maximum number people: 20

Places must be reserved by June 2nd. Tours will only depart if a minimum of 5 people or 5 full-price tickets are sold.

*Probably June 6-7. However, the exact dates of the tours depend upon nature. The first week of June is our best guess. Please contact us closer to the date for exact details!
