Start with the lake mood, then pick the stop
Some days call for a relaxed family beach. Others are better with a waterside walk, dinner in Badacsony or a quieter afternoon around Szigliget and Ábrahámhegy.
Easy lake days
Lake Balaton beaches and waterside programs
When you want a day by the water, Lake Balaton is an easy part of a Dandelion stay: beaches, piers, summer walks, sunset dinners and light water programs can all fit into a calm countryside holiday.
A morning at the beach, a wine stop on the hill in the afternoon and an evening walk in Badacsony or Szigliget can belong to the same day. That is the charm of this area: you do not have to choose between the lake and the Balaton Uplands.
- nearby beaches by car
- Badacsony, Szigliget and Ábrahámhegy as easy lake directions
- kayak, canoe and SUP options in season
- simple programs for families, couples and summer evenings
