Lake Balaton, Lake in Transdanubia, Hungary
Lake Balaton extends 48 miles along the Bakony Mountains foothills, reaching 9 miles at its widest point with a maximum depth of 37 feet.
The lake formed less than 1 million years ago from five separate water bodies that merged through natural erosion processes into the current configuration.
The lake region features multiple thermal springs at Balatonfüred, where visitors seek treatments in accordance with Hungarian wellness traditions.
The Sármellék International Airport provides seasonal flights to the lake area, while a network of bicycle lanes circles the entire waterfront.
The Tihany Peninsula creates a narrow passage of just one mile across the lake, containing a nature reserve with specific plant and animal species.
