Pannonian BirdExperience
Since 2010 the pannonian BirdExperience takes place at the best time of the year - at the time of the bird's spring migration - annually in April. This includes a three-day fair for bird watching - everything you need and all you want to know can be found here at numerous stands: optics and cameras including accessories, functional clothing, nature tours, identification books, Nature Preserves and National Parks as well as bird protection organizations. The 9-day supporting programme with excursions, workshops and lectures starts already the weekend before and makes the visit to the pannonian BirdExperience an incomparable experience!
