The Old lake is not used for multi-programmed educational purposes.
In the eastern part of the lake there is an information centre, which introduces the ecological
values of the Old Lake. Local schools and bird-watchers visit the area. The Hungarian
Ornithological Association organizes several excursions around the lake every year. Birdwatching
is helped by the birdwatching-tower at the eastern side of the lake.
The Municipality organizes waste collecting actions which give opportunity to local patriots to
make their environment cleaner and nicer, and in the meantime they are informed about the
significance of ecosystems.
By the shore of the Old Lake of Tata stands the “Information Centre for Conservation and
Ecotourism’, whose construction is completed regarding its structure and will serve as an
excellent conservational centre for the region. Old Lake and Ferencmajori fish ponds home two
study trails with birdwatching towers as well as information sheets and boards.
In the area of the Ferencmajori fish ponds a conservational camp is organized each year (for 14
years) with the main aim of environmental education of the youth.
BirdLife Hungary and Duna-Ipoly National Park Directorate provide professional guidance by
the lakes for interested visitor groups.
