The Merzse marshland, the last swamp area in the capital, has
been significantly reduced over the years to 27 hectares. It regularly dries out, exacerbated
by water-collecting devices interfering with the natural habitat.
In recent
decades, the environment has completely changed, with the construction of the
airport and railway line, as well as arable land cutting off significant tracts
from the swamp. Nowadays, water scarcity has become more and more common, so
the Rákosmente Municipality and Budapest Airport are jointly preparing a
recovery plan to save the area.
Recovery plan
“The most important task is to create water replenishment, which is a multi-step process. As a first move, a recovery plan is being prepared, worth almost 20 million forints, funded by District XVII and the airport operators” – Budapest Airport.
In addition to deer and foxes, special species such as the northern crested newts, the marsh tortoise, the European bee-eater and bitterns, as well as badgers and weasels. In spring, yellow irises and grape hyacinths bloom, and the nature trail six kilometres long is lined with many protected plants.
