3. Palatinus Lake, Dorog

Palatinus Lake of the Dorog Basin is a little further away, in Esztergom. However, as the clearest lake in Hungary, it is definitely worth visiting.

4. Gyömrő Lake, Gyömrő

Gyömrő Lake is situated in the centre of Gyömrő, where once a brick factory stood, yet it is surrounded by woods now. It is the perfect place to cool off, enjoy Hungarian specialities at the buffets or even try out water sports like wakeboarding or water skiing.

Once a mining lake, Rukkel Lake is by now a true waterpark from Paradise. Everything can be found here for the perfect weekend getaway, from several sports activities through renting kayaks, canoes or paddle boats to enjoying Hungarian delicacies like lángos (a sort of deep-fried dough) or crepes. Everybody is bound to find the perfect activity for themselves.
