Cool! these are the best dog-friendly beaches in Hungary

If you have been missing out on all the fun at the lakes this summer because you chose to spend time at home with your pet instead, there is no need to worry about that anymore. This list will help you find places where both you and your dog can have a great time.

According to Femina, it was practically impossible to find animal-friendly places to cool off in the summer just a few years ago. For instance, they used to be completely banned from Hungary’s biggest lakes, Lake Balaton and Lake Velencei. Luckily, times are a-changing, and these days, it is easy to find the place just right for you and your pet. However, be sure to prepare a comfortable dog carrier to take your dog on trips or car rides.

In Baranya County, close to Pécs, a dog beach was opened in July 2017. The lake used to serve the purpose of fishing, but now, it makes dogs in the area very happy. Owners do not need a ticket, while dogs can enter for a fee of HUF 1,000 (EUR 3.08).

In Bács-Kiskun County, the place that awaits dogs is called Dog Holiday – promising, right? Their motto is that it is the place where dogs go on a holiday. Nevertheless, going to the lake is only available if you pre-arrange it.

In Fejér County, a place called ‘Drótszamár’ (Wire Donkey) offers the perfect place to go camping near Lake Velencei. There are separate beaches especially designed to visit with dogs. Luckily, the campsite accepts visitors all year round.

• The dog behavior is important for being at the beach with a dog

In Heves County, a dog-friendly beach was opened in 2018, in the town of Hatvan. Apart from a pool specially designed for dogs, there is also a dog park and a training field. So, dogs can have a great time swimming around while also having the chance to socialise.
