Balaton

Hungary - Western Hungary and Budapest

Extending roughly 80km like a skinny, lopsided paprika, at first glance, Lake Balaton seems to be a happy, sunny expanse of opaque tourmaline-coloured water in which to play.

But step beyond the beaches of Europeā€™s biggest and shallowest body of water. Youā€™ll encounter vine-filled forested hills, a national park and a wild peninsula jutting out 4km, nearly cutting the lake in half.
