The largest freshwater lake in Europe, Lake Balaton, is situated in Central Hungary. It is a very popular holiday resort and well known throughout Europe. But, what many people do not know is that situated just 6 kilometres away from Lake Balaton is Lake Héviz, Europe’s largest thermal lake.

Lake Balaton is the largest freshwater lake in Europe and the premier vacation region in Hungary. Lining both shores of its 48-mile (77km) stretch are many towns and resorts, and the north and south shores are distinctly different in character offering something for everyone.

The Lake Fertő is the third largest lake of Central Europe. The whole lake area, including the Austrian side, has been a World Heritage Site since 2001 for its natural assets and built environment.

One of the world's most incredible geographical phenomena and Europe's largest stalactite caves, the Baradla Cave in Aggtelek is a World Heritage site. There are over 240 caves that have been mapped under the hilly surface full of earth mounds, ancient furnaces, and ruins of monasteries. Its Hungarian section is 17 km long, and has an underground stream. Guided tours leave from three entrances: from Jósvafő and Lake Vörös are short and medium tours on paved pathways wired with electric lighting. An entrance was also opened to the caves at Jósvafő, an enchanting small village reached along picturesque, winding roads and criss-crossed by the stream Jósva.
