View of Lake Balaton

Highlight • Viewpoint

It was a very refreshing change to hike in the forest above the lake. The old quarry is very impressive to look at. The shade uphill was particularly beautiful.

View of Lake Balaton from the Festetics Lookout Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

From up there, you can enjoy fantastic views of Balato from many spots.
It's best to let the drone climb to a maximum of 120 meters.
