Walking in Hungary and at Lake Balaton

Hungary is a beautiful unspoilt country which makes it an ideal destination for walkers.
Hungary is known for its extremely diverse natural landscape. Ranging from unspoilt marshland, steppes, bogs, river flats, pastures through to forests and meadows the countryside is populated by a fascinating mix of flora and fauna typical of the region.

With 9 National Parks and an equal number of Nature Parks, along with 11,000 km of marked tourist paths, Hungary is one of the best walking areas in Europe,
Its birdlife is very diverse because many of the eastern species reach their western most breeding point here. The unspoilt natural environment of lakes, reeds, forest, wetlands, rivers make it very unique to other parts of Europe.
It is not uncommon to spot well over 200 different species in a weeks’ holiday
The Lake Balaton area is particularly nice.

On the southern shore of Lake Balaton it is flatter and has lovely beaches and from there you can see the wonderful sunsets behind the hills on the northern shoreline. The famous vineyards are on the north shore famous for its meadows, forests and ravines. At Heviz in the north west corner of the lake you pass alongside Europe’s largest thermal spa where the water temperature is in excess of 33 deg C.
