Ludaš lake

History
According to tradition of their origin, both the village and the lake got their name after the goose. Namely, in the times when the Turks come to this area, there was large number of wild-geese here. Local residents caught them and sold them at the markets, that is how they got the name "Ludaš" (someone who sells geese). The first written source is a document from 1335. which mentions "Ludaš" as "Ludasegyhazpuszta", and then during the rule of the Turks in 1543. it is mentioned as "Ludaš". In 1740. tobacco growers from "Szeged" moved to this unpopulated Ludaš dessert and established first the settlement Ludaš and later Hajdukovo.
