Lake Balaton is a paradise for lovers of the great outdoors who crave stunning scenery and fresh air in their lungs. Watersports enthusiasts revel in the superb opportunities for sailing, windsurfing, wakeboarding and rowing; motorboats are prohibited, so you won’t find yourself swamped by wash. Less-energetic visitors laze on the beaches, hire fishing rods and go in pursuit of the pike perch – a delicacy found only here – or take a turn around the lake aboard a sightseeing boat. Golfers are well catered for at the Royal Balaton Golf and Yacht Club in Balatonudvari, which has beautifully manicured courses.
