when:
Sóstó, tucked into southern Székesfehérvár, spans two protected areas: the nationally protected 121-hectare Sóstó–Homokbánya Nature Reserve and the locally protected 97-hectare Sóstó Nature Reserve. Open year-round, it’s a go-anytime spot with big-sky views and regular eco-tours that highlight the wetland’s wildlife and forest life.
In 2026, guided eco-walks are back across the Sóstó Nature Reserve, welcoming families, students, and curious first-timers. Next up: Harkálylesen (Woodpecker Watch) on 2026.02.28 at 10:15. As spring stirs, Sóstó’s awakening woods ring with drumming—this easy observation walk dives into the lives of the so-called “doctors of the trees,” explaining why woodpeckers are vital to forest ecosystems and how their nesting and foraging shape biodiversity.
