Introducing Badacsony
Four towns make up the Badacsony region: Badacsonylábdihegy, Badacsonyörs, Badacsonytördemic and Badacsonytomaj. But when Hungarians say Badacsony, they usually mean the little resort at the Badacsony train station, near the ferry pier southwest of Badacsonytomaj.

Badacsony is thrice-blessed. Not only does it have the lake for swimming and the mountains for wonderful walks and hikes, but it has produced wine - lots of it - since the Middle Ages. Badacsony was one of the last places on Balaton's northern shore to be developed and has more of a country feel to it than most other resorts here. Only Tihany vies for supremacy in the beauty stakes (both places are 'landscape protection reserves'), and you might stop here for a day or two to relax.
