The Pannonhalma Landscape Protection Area was established on 8272 hectares in the year 1992. Its two major parts include the Pannonhalma Hills and the calcareous sand steppes of the Small Hungarian Plain. Furthermore, two protected wetlands enrich the landscape protection area (Erebe Islands and the area around the Dead Rába).
The Pannonhalma Hills


The calcareous sand steppes of the Small Hungarian Plain


The Erebe Islands

Surroundings of the Dead Rába
Another site closely connected to the water is the Dead Rába and surroundings.
The oxbows overgrown with or partly accompanied by reed, bulrush and bushy willows have a nice atmosphere and enrich the landscape. They are home to numerous plants and animals. Along the shores grow three species of iris: the Yellow Iris, the Blue Iris and the violet Siberian Iris. The fauna also proves the diversity of the habitat. A rare species is the Marsh Frog, which changes its colour for the time of reproduction into a bizarre but nice blue. Three reptile and 110 bird species were described in the area.
