Lake Nagyszéksós of Mórahalom is a valuable representative of the saline habitats of the Danube-Tisza Interfluve. These lakes collect the water of surrounding wet depressions and serve as habitats and feeding areas for breeding and migrating birds. The study trail provides information about the reed and bulrush covered lakeshore vegetation, the sedge meadows and the diverse habitats of Lake Nagyszéksós and its surroundings.
