Reviewing documented seismic events mapped by distance to the Danube-Drava floodplain landscape
This historical catalogue provides a filtered view of seismic events recorded within proximity to the Gemenc floodplain forest. Each entry includes essential event data such as magnitude, focal depth, and geographic location to support an understanding of seismic activity patterns across this alluvial landscape. These records offer insight into the local history of seismic occurrences derived from regional data, without suggesting causal links to the park ecosystem.
Hungary's last surviving tidal Danube floodplain forest, part of the Danube-Drava National Park.
Gemenc is a large protected floodplain forest along the Danube in southern Hungary, stretching roughly 30 kilometers downstream from the Sió river mouth near Szekszárd to the area of Báta and Bátmonostor. Administratively it lies mostly in Tolna County with a smaller portion in Bács-Kiskun County, and geographically it belongs to the Sárköz micro-region. The forest forms one of Hungary's most important alluvial ecosystems, with willow and poplar stands close to the water giving way to oak-ash-elm forests further inland on higher ground. Because the area is still regularly shaped by the Danube's natural flooding regime, it remains among Europe's last remaining tidal freshwater forest landscapes of this scale. The reserve hosts a rich community of large mammals, raptors, wading birds, amphibians, fish, and rare insects, and is particularly famous for its red deer population. Since 1977 it has been protected as a nature reserve and today forms part of the Danube-Drava National Park, managed by the Danube-Drava National Park Directorate.
Filter Gemenc earthquake observations by date, depth, and distance
Gemenc’s earthquake catalogue associates reported epicentres through measured distance from the Danube floodplain forest, without locating every event within the protected area. Searchable time, magnitude, depth, locality, separation, and source data provide historical context without assigning landscape influence, claiming local geological causation, defining current danger, or predicting activity.
This page describes catalogued earthquakes associated with the park by epicentre location and distance. It does not establish causation, assess current danger, or predict future earthquakes.
