Balaton Tourist Information
Balaton in general
Nobody quite knows who first declared themselves in love with Lake Balaton. Perhaps a poet, or a traveler, but it's a fact that from the start of the 19th Century onwards, more and more statements like this are recorded. First in beautiful prose, then in newspaper articles, nowadays in virtually everyday speech. For those who haven't been yet it is hard to understand the attraction to Lake Balaton. If we want to educate them, then for every question there is an answer.

Sport, fitness? Lake Balaton!
As well as cruising, yacht racing also has deep roots here. The Balaton yacht races are favoured primarily by sporting yachters possessing some technique. The complex wind currents over the lake often puts even their skills to the test. Yachts brought from elsewhere can be left at the landing stages, but yachts can also be hired here by those who do not wish to bother with transportation.

Famous Springs, Places of Healing
The most beautiful parts of the landscape around Lake Balaton were formed by volcanic action, and even 2.5 million years after the extinction of the volcanoes their effect, though tamed, can still be felt. Dozens of sulphuric and carbonated springs burst from the ground along the lakeside, and in most of them people have sought (and found) healing for centuries. The most famous is the spring at Hévíz, which breaks to the surface at the foothills of the Keszthely hills.
