It became one of the most popular tourist destinations in Hungary since it had similar features to Lake Balaton, but cheaper prices and no overcrowding.

Lake Vadkürt was first mentioned on military maps in the 1780s.

Although it dried out during the centuries, today it is nationally known for its clean water and great beaches.

One side of the lake is used for fishing, the other is for swimming.

There are a couple of camping places mostly used by young people.
