Subsequently, the expedition moved to Slovak locality Istragov. In Istragov, channels were excavated to bring water back to wetland after 30 years. At a locality in \u010cili\u017esk\u00e1 Radva\u0148 trees were planted to create a windbreak.\r\n\r\nThe last day was devoted to the localities in Austria, nearby the Neusiedler See.
