Lake Balaton 350 ft
The ‘Hungarian Sea’ - Europe’s largest lake
Lake Balaton, spanning over 50 miles
at its longest point, caters for nature
lovers, birdwatchers, wine connoisseurs
and rest seekers. 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, Castle
Festetics where weekly concerts are
held in the summer, its churches and
the Balaton Museum make for a very
interesting stay. In contrast Balatonfured
is renowned for its lakeside promenade,
distinctive villas, sailing competitions and healing waters. On the Tihany peninsular, 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.
