5 Hungarian lakes to visit all year around
Change language:
According to travelo.hu, Lake Balaton welcomes visitors with magical lookout-towers and delicious meals, Lake Tisza with an adventure park and boating opportunity, Lake Fertő with cute towns and plenty of birds, Lake Velence with a day worth of sights and Sóstógyógyfürdő with a huge zoo and the country’s biggest village museum, all year around. If there are so many opportunities at Hungarian lakes, why would you only think about the beach and sunbathing? End this habit and get going! 🙂
Of course, you can’t pack a bathing suit in spring, but you can go on walks, eat great meals and enjoy the sun just like in summer. In fact, since the season hasn’t started yet, the experience will be even better due to the smaller crowds. And spring is the most ideal season for sport lovers, who’d like to cycle or hike around the most beautiful Hungarian lakes.
Lake Balaton
Touristic experts and locals have been repeating it for quite some time that Balaton is just as great in autumn and spring, and it shouldn’t only be visited in July and August. And they are perfectly right. If you decide to visit the region at a spring weekend, make sure to visit one of the lookout-towers, because the view of the lake is stunning. And those who’d rather ride their bicycles should go in the direction of the Káli Basin, because the path and the region is beautiful. If you’d like to finish the day off with a delicious meal, you should check out the Gastro Map of Lake Balaton, which lists the best restaurants of the region.
Lake Tisza
Another lake where the opportunities go beyond bathing, however, you don’t have to forget about it either, because the selection of wellness hotels is quite wide. Still, of course, you can do much more than enjoy the saunas and jacuzzis. For instance, you may rent a bike and cycle around the lake, and stop at the adventure park, the mini outdoor museum of Abádszalók, or the ecocentre of Poroszló, with the cutest otters. Do some research on the flora and fauna of the region, rent a boat, and get to know the nature and the bird species of the lake.
