Lake Fehér is a lake of

teal
varieties are visible on Lake Fehér.

The lake was officially mentioned for the first time in the year 1075. The Tisza River regularly flooded the area up to the early 19th century. The lake once began to the typical brackish lakes of the Great Hungarian Plain. The common property of these shallow, salty lakes is that their water is cloudy from the colloidal lime salts and a greyish-white carbonic lime silt accumulates on the lakebed. When the lakebed dries up, as it does partially occasionally, the salt "blossoms" on the lakebed.
