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.

Location: Bodrogzug - Bodrogkeresztúr
Meeting Point: Bodrogkisfalud ferry
Distance and Duration: 4 km, 2 hours
