Outer lake, Protected lake in Tihany Peninsula, Hungary.

The Outer Lake spans 0.67 square kilometers at 116 meters elevation within Balaton Uplands National Park, featuring abundant water flora and fauna.

The lake originated from volcanic activity that formed the Tihany Peninsula, later undergoing drainage for agriculture until its restoration began in 1976.

The lake sits near the Benedictine Abbey, contributing to the natural landscape that earned Tihany the European Council Diploma in 2003.

Visitors can explore the lake through marked trails within the national park, with management overseen by Balaton Uplands National Park Directorate.

The lake occupies a former volcanic crater, forming part of three water bodies in Tihany Peninsula alongside Lake Balaton and Inner Lake.
