Lake Balaton, spanning over 50 miles at its longest point, caters for nature lovers, birdwatchers, wine connoisseurs and those looking for relaxation. Surrounded by flower-covered meadows, vineyards and reed beds teeming with birdlife, you can explore the lake on foot, by bike, boat or the local train. Historic Keszthely with its fine baroque buildings, Festetics Castle where weekly concerts are held in the summer, its churches and the Balaton Museum make for a very interesting stay. In contrast, Balatonfüred is renowned for its lakeside promenade, distinctive villas, sailing competitions and healing waters. On the Tihany peninsula, the distinctive two-towered church greets the visitor from afar. From the harbour you can sail to the south side and the Lajos-Loczy path leads through the nature reserve, a must for bird lovers.
