Tihany Peninsula, Peninsula at Lake Balaton, Hungary

The Tihany Peninsula extends into Lake Balaton, creating a natural barrier that narrows the lake to approximately 1.6 kilometers at its crossing point.

The establishment of Tihany Abbey in 1055 marks a significant milestone, as its founding charter contains the first written record of the Hungarian language.

The peninsula forms part of the Balaton Uplands Cultural Landscape, where traditional farming practices and architecture reflect centuries of Hungarian rural life.

Visitors can access the peninsula through regular bus services from Balatonfüred, with numerous walking trails connecting major attractions and viewpoints.

The Inner Lake sits 25 meters above Lake Balaton, surrounded by ancient geyser cones formed through prehistoric volcanic activity.

Location: Balatonfüred

Part of: Balaton Uplands Cultural Landscape
