On the Kányavár island you can follow a nearly 2 km long educational path named after the great crested grebe (búbos vöcsök), a typical inhabitant of the region.  The footpath – with its information points – aims to introduce the rich bird life of the area as well as the bat population (there are built bat holes to enhance their breeding). Indigenous species are the great crested grebe of course but you will find great egrets (nagykócsag), cormorants (kormorán), Eurasian spoonbills (kanalasgém), squacco herons (üstökösgém), purple herons (vörös gém), grey herons (szürke gém), Eurasian coots (szárcsa), great reed warblers (nádirigó) and moustached warblers (fülemüle sitke). Up to now 250 bird species have been registered in this area, 150 of which also breed here
