Treasures of Tihany

We start our tour from the BBT point next to the Tihany boat station, towards the interior of the peninsula. A range of fantastic scents and colors is already available to us.

We arrive at the Akasztódombi market and soon leave the asphalt to approach the Belső lake with a roll. Here we are welcomed by the trinity of silence, tranquility and nature.

The view of the grape arbors still amazes us when we find ourselves under the Őtorony lookout. We reach the height on foot, leaving the bicycles at Ÿslevendulás. From here, it is a 15-minute easy hike to the lookout point. The effort is worth it, because a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of Lake Balaton and the Balaton highlands opens up before us. The view is beautiful, we almost feel like we are on an island, as if we are completely surrounded by water.

After enjoying the breathtaking panorama, we roll down to the western side of the peninsula and drive only a few meters from Lake Balaton on a forest road, we pass by the romantic beach of Sajkod and continue in the direction of Balatonfüred.

Then we stop for a short time at the Abbey Church, rebuilt on the foundations of the Árpád era. From there, we ascend on an asphalt bike path to the edge of Tihany in a Mediterranean atmosphere.

To conclude our tour, we will ride - although if we arrive during the summer tourist season, we will have to get off the bike at some places - to the unmissable sights of the peninsula, the Abbey and the Echo. Here, you can even have a little coffee or a cookie in the program, and then we slide back to the Ship Station on an exciting serpentine.
