Swimming Lake

With its 596 square kilometres, Lake Balaton in Hungary is the largest inland lake in Central and Western Europe.

The bathing lake not only offers good water quality, but also summer temperatures. Due to its depth, which is just three metres, the water temperature reaches about 27 degrees. Especially the south shore is suitable for families and children to relax and splash around. There you can walk a few hundred metres into the lake, as the water is very shallow. The "Balaton Riviera" area is a tip for spring: fruit and almond trees blossom colourfully at this time of year.

With 195 kilometres of shoreline, there are numerous bathing beaches and leisure facilities. The lakeside beaches offer large sunbathing areas. There are also many restaurants and cafés. For the little ones, there are also slides, trampolines or bouncy castles. It is also possible to rent water equipment. With holiday homes directly on the lake shore, Lake Balaton is also a popular destination for summer holidays.
