Nyakszirtek

Nyakszirtek, also known as the Neck Islands, is a small archipelago located in the Baltic Sea, approximately 10 kilometers off the coast of Hungary. The archipelago consists of three main islands: Nagy-Szirt (Big Neck), Kis-Szirt (Little Neck), and a smaller island known as a Szirt. These islands are part of the Kiskunság National Park and are known for their unique geological formations and diverse wildlife.

The islands are primarily composed of limestone and are characterized by their steep cliffs and rocky outcrops. The most notable feature of Nyakszirtek is the "Neck," a narrow strip of land that connects the islands to the mainland during low tide. This feature gives the islands their name and is a popular spot for birdwatching and nature photography.

The archipelago is home to a variety of bird species, including the European shag, herring gull, and various species of ducks and geese. The islands also support a small population of seals, which can be spotted basking on the rocks during the summer months. The surrounding waters are rich in marine life, including fish, crustaceans, and mollusks.

Nyakszirtek is a protected area, and access to the islands is restricted to ensure the preservation of their natural habitats. Visitors can explore the islands by boat or on foot during designated guided tours. The archipelago is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and offers a unique opportunity to experience the beauty and diversity of the Baltic Sea ecosystem.
