Hungary Free Walking Tour Day 5 Lake Balaton

Lake Balaton is about 150 km from Budapest, about a 2-hour drive. Navigation: Lake Balaton. The lake is huge, the largest lake in Central Europe, and is known as the Hungarian Sea by locals. Therefore, the positioning does not need to be particularly precise. Many places near the lake have stunning scenery! Of course, the most famous is the Tihany Peninsula. You can also navigate directly here. Very few businesses are open on the peninsula in winter. There is only one restaurant at the highest point for dining. I only saw two or three shops open on the street. However, the peninsula is very clean and the landscape is beautiful. It is extremely comfortable to take a walk on the quiet island. The water of Lake Balaton is milky green from a distance, but clear and clean up close. There are many wild ducks and unnamed water birds on the lake. Beautiful! Today's encounter🌹 I met three grandfathers fishing, all very kind. The children stood by and watched them fish for a long time. There were quite a lot of fish, and they all caught several🤭 I chatted with the fisherman for a few words, and he said that the most common fish in this area is white fish. The fish are not big, but they look delicious!🤭 I also met a couple stacking stones. They should be celebrities. They have many fans on Facebook and have been to many places to stack stones! What interesting artists! (The photos were posted with their consent) In short, if possible, it is best to come to Balaton from March to November. It will definitely be more beautiful and more comfortable then!
