Its story

Kuşcenneti National Park lies in the willow groves and reed beds on the northeastern shore of Manyas Kuş Gölü (Lake Kuş). The area's value was recognized in the late 1930s by the German zoologist Curt Kosswig and his wife, and it was declared a national park in 1959. In 1975 the Council of Europe awarded the park a Class A European Diploma. From the observation tower and small visitor center, the breeding and migration of hundreds of species such as pelicans, cormorants, herons and spoonbills can be observed.
