Termálfürdő has collected some of the most beautiful places from where the view is unparalleled. The locations are various, there are spots near Budapest and Lake Balaton, but even in the Mátra, the highest point in Hungary.
Prédikálószék
You can get the most beautiful view of the Danube at Prédikálószék (Pulpit Rock or Preacher’s chair, loosely translated), the lookout at the Danube bend. The lookout tower was erected in 2016 on the highest point of the mountain, situated at 639 metres above sea level. At one side of the Danube you will find these magnificent rocks guarding the bend, while at the other one, you can dip your feet at a free beach at Zebegény.

Badacsony, Kisfaludy-kilátó
This is truly the most beautiful view of Lake Balaton that you can get. The Kisfaludy lookout is situated 18 metres above sea level on the lake’s northern shore. It was built around 1960 and was renovated in 2012. If you feel like you have absorbed enough of the serenity that this view provides, while you are on your way to the sandy beach that is on the shore, check out the Lovers’ Fountain.
