The most beautiful hikes in the Balaton region #06

The magic of Lake Balaton lies in the fact that it doesn't end at its shores. Its presence is just as palpable among the witness hills of the Tapolca Basin, on the resin-scented trails of the Keszthely Mountains, or in the hidden corners of Inner and Outer Somogy. One might say that Lake Balaton is most beautiful from where it cannot be seen, yet we sense and feel its presence. This mysterious aura, this intangible presence, makes hiking around the lake unique, especially in the highlands. Wandering among historical church ruins, whitewashed crucifixes, traditional peasant houses with porch-like structures, and wine cellars hidden in the sunlit, wind-swept rows of vineyards always promises the unparalleled excitement of discovery. The book offers a wide range of options: from easy, few-kilometer forest walks enjoyable even for beginner hikers to more exhausting hikes for the experienced, a variety of routes can be found among the 40 hikes in this pocket-sized, richly illustrated publication with photos and drawings. With QR codes placed on the maps, each route can be opened in the Természetjáró application, making navigation simple with a smartphone. Therefore, in the descriptions, we could focus on exciting background information and concise yet engaging introductions to the natural and cultural sights along the way.
