Introducing Tihany

The place with the greatest historical significance on Lake Balaton is Tihany, 14km southwest of Balatonfüred. It is on a peninsula of the same name that juts 5km into the Balaton, almost linking the lake's two shores. The entire peninsula is a nature reserve of hills and marshy meadows; it has an isolated, almost wild, feel to it that is unknown around the rest of the lake. The village, on a hilltop on the eastern side of the peninsula, is one of the most charming in the Balaton region.
