Description of
the boating holiday

From Kisköre, go up the Tisza River with your canal boat to Tiszalök whose impressive hydroelectric power station is located on the river. On the way, you will cruise on Lake Tisza, in the heart of the natural area of Hortobágy National Park and the Great Hungarian Plain (better known as Puszta).

Departure base

Located in the heart of the Hungarian Great Plains region, our Kisköre boating holidays base is located on the shores of Lake Tisza – Hungary’s largest artificial freshwater lake. Set sail on board your spacious and stylish canal boat for an adventure discovering the preserved landscapes that surround the River Tisza.

Places to see and things to do

Kisköre: a great place to enjoy before you’ve even begun your boating holiday!
With its sandy beach, waterslides that drop straight in to the Tisza and fish-rich waters, Kisköre is a paradise for those who love life in, on and around the waterways. Spend some time here before setting off on the rest of your boating holiday.

Abádszalók: a seaside resort on Lake Tisza
This bustling town on the south shore of Lake Tisza, facing a vast bay, is a popular boating holiday spot for families. Arrive on your self-drive canal boat (no previous boating holiday experience needed!) and enjoy its beautiful sandy beach and giant water slide as well as leisure activities such as water skiing, jet skiing, kayaking, paddle boarding and being towed around at high speed on inflatables!

Poroszló: nature explained on Lake Tisza
You’ll find everything you want to know about Lake Tisza with a visit to the Ecotourism Centre of Lake Tisza Poroszló. It houses the largest freshwater aquarium in Europe and also includes a games area and a 3D cinema.

Tiszafüred: a spa resort on the shores of Lake Tisza
The largest city bordering Lake Tisza, Tiszafüred is a paradise for lovers of water sports. Enjoy swimming at the beach, fishing, windsurfing, canoeing and much more. Don’t miss a soothing swim in the thermal waters at a temperature of 39 degrees.

Hortobágy: in the heart of the Hungarian ‘Puszta’
Going up the Tisza River, moor your canal boat on the shore to explore the Hortobágy National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The "Puszta", the largest steppe in Central Europe, offers a unique experience to see the work of shepherds, herders and horse keepers in the impressive location between ponds, green pastures and bird reserves. Located in the centre of this region the city of Hortobágy is a ‘must see’ on your boating holiday itinerary – especially the iconic nine-arched bridge that crosses the river of the same name.

Tiszacsege: found at the entrance to the Hortobágy nature reserve
Situated at the gateway to the Hortobágy National Park on the left bank of the Tisza River, Tiszacsege enjoys a privileged location for exploring the vast steppes (grasslands) of the Hungarian "puszta". The waters of the thermal baths attraction (with two indoor and outdoor pools) are known for their medicinal properties.

Tiszaújváros: the best place to enjoy a thermal tradition!
Did you know that hot baths are part of Hungarian culture? A stopover in Tiszaújváros is great for experiencing these thermal baths. Relax here or, if your crew is a little more energetic, test out the indoor and outdoor swimming pools, wave pools, giant slides and more at this excellent holiday attraction.

Tiszadob: visit the charming Andrássy Castle
Set on the banks of a tributary of the Tisza River, the 19th-century Andrássy Castle is charming with its neo-Gothic and romantic-inspired architecture. If you’re exploring this area during your canal boat holiday then a visit to what is a labyrinth of greenery in the castle gardens is highly recommended.

Tiszalök: enjoy an impressive nature walk alongside the Tisza River
As you arrive in Tiszalök onboard your self-drive canal boat the imposing and impressive hydroelectric power station that sits on the Tisza River confronts you. There is also a long wooden footbridge and trail – moor up and set off on foot to enjoy the tranquillity of the beautiful surrounding wetlands.

The Hungarian Great Plain: a preserved treasure Although we’ve enjoyed a number of boating holidays previously we were charmed by this new barge navigation experience in Hungary. The great wilderness of the Hungarian Great Plain is truly a preserved treasure! The calm waters of the lake and the river Tisza mean it’s easy to wind down and relax!
