Balaton Villa ~ What To Do At Lake Balaton

WHAT TO DO AT LAKE BALATON

Whatever your tastes, or lifestyle, Lake Balaton has something to offer everyone.

SAILING

The Balaton yacht races are favoured primarily by sporting yachters possessing some technique.
The complex wind currents over the lake often puts even their skills to the test. Beginners will find a yachting course in all of the towns on Lake Balaton,
where they can even obtain the skipper’s license for small vessels valid for all inland waters in Europe. Although motorboats have been forbidden on Lake Balaton, in an effort to protect the pure water, the tranquillity and the idyllic landscape,
water-skiing is still possible. In Balatonfüred and Siófok water ski courses with electrical traction attract lovers of the sport,
and anyone who wishes can learn with the help of an expert.

FLYING

At least twenty places around the lake offer flying facilities.
Lake Balaton can be admired from hang gliders, small motorised planes, helicopters, and even hot air balloons,
and its beauty is revealed in its true glory when viewed from the sky.

HORSE RIDING

At Lake Balaton it is easy to jump into a saddle, because over the last decade equestrian tourism has developed by leaps and bounds.
Riding tours are organised by the local stables at all of the larger resorts.
For those who prefer to watch horses rather than sit astride them, demonstrations are held regularly.

CYCLING

Cycling enthusiasts should note the Balaton Cycle Path, which encircles the lake.
But those who arrive by other means of transport would also do well to bring or hire a bicycle,
because in the high-season a bicycle gets you around much faster than a car on the crowded roads.
Bicycle hire shops are available at many places around the lake and in the larger towns it is easy to find a bicycle repair shop too.
