 | | The Tisza (in Hungarian, Ukrainian: Tysa/Тиса, Romanian, Slovak and Serbian: Tisa, German: Theiß) is a river, tributary of the Danube and one of the major rivers of Central Europe, passing through Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine and Serbia and Montenegro. |
 | | After several small-scale attempts István Széchenyi organised the "control of the Tisza" ("a Tisza szabályozása") which started on August 27, 1846 and substantially ended in 1880. |
 | | It turned out, however, that the resulting Tisza-tó (Lake Tisza) became one of the most popular tourist destinations in Hungary, since it had similar features to Lake Balaton at drastically cheaper prices and it was not crowded. |
