From the western shore of Lake Balaton, more than a thousand new facilities will be available to visitors to Lake Balaton in 2020;The new canoeing and hiking trailhead, which will be opened in 2020, will be the starting point for guided canoeing tours to the highly protected nature reserve.

The Kis-Balaton Látogatóközpunkt also offers discounts for owners of the Kártya. Find out more about the Termésetáró Kártyárór (TEKA), the discountsclick here!

A látogatóközpont

At some point in time, the length of the road almost disappears in the road, possibly due to the fact that the length of the road is not known;A grass-covered roof with grass trimmings leads the way. The environmentally conscious also paid attention to the need to maintain the environment, which is being energized by solar panels and a ground-source heating system.

The whole site is open at the same time, with an interactive interactive TV point;s presents the world of Lake Balaton Small, which is outdoors and equipped with a variety of attractions for children. The gate of the Little Balaton is a virtuoso címre pályázó épül;pül;l;l;l;l;l;l;l;lóIt can also be said to be possible to have a very high level of transparency in the field of the arts. At this point, gates are opened for exploring the Little Balaton, as this is the starting point for the hiking tours;s canoe trips to the island of Diás, where the Matula hut, which offers a unique atmosphere, is also located.

Small Lake Balaton

Small Lake Balaton is a unique and rich area of natural beauty, which was designated a protected area in 1951 and a National Park in 1997. The swampy, wetland area is home to more than a million birds, and is also the habitat of the large cormorant, the cormorant of the domestic breeding farm.

Today's Kis-Balaton was, until the early 19th century, the westernmost part of Lake Balaton, where the Zala river deposited its barrels before it carried water into the lake. However, the ever-increasing human intervention in the 20th century has led to a series of major accidents. In the 20th century, the area was almost completely cleared, endangering the waters of Lake Balaton;This has radically reduced the wildlife of the Balaton, and has also reduced the quality of the water.

Since the 1970s, this has been repeatedly and systematically planned, with the creation of large ponds and a growing canal system. The efforts to rehabilitate the swamp have been successful, and the many species of bird have found a home here. A significant part of the area of Lake Balaton has been particularly visited, some of which is not accessible to tourists or only in limited areas. This is why it is worth exploring the area, known from the regimes of the Black Forest, from the starting point of the Kis-Balaton Lakes, as part of the guided programmes of the national park.
