BBT-Guided eBike Tour: Treasures of Tihany Tour copy

StartWe begin our hike from the BB365 center in Balatonfüred, heading into the interior of the peninsula. We are immediately greeted by a fantastic array of scents and colors.

Akasztódomb Market, Belső LakeWe arrive at the Akasztódombi Market and soon leave the asphalt behind to roll toward Belső Lake. Here, the trio of silence, tranquility, and nature welcomes us.

Watchtower Lookout, Ancient Lavender GroveThe sight of the vine arbors has barely ceased to amaze us when we find ourselves already beneath the Watchtower Lookout. We reach the hilltop on foot, leaving our bicycles at Őslevendulás. From here, it’s a 15-minute easy hike to the lookout. It’s worth the effort, as the breathtaking, 360-degree panorama of Lake Balaton and the Balaton Uplands unfolds before us from here. The view is beautiful; we almost feel as if we’re on an island, as if the water completely surrounds us.

Sajkod, BalatonfüredAfter feasting our eyes on the breathtaking panorama, we roll down to the western side of the peninsula &and rode just a few meters from Lake Balaton along a forest road, passing by the romantic beach of Sajkod and continuing on toward Balatonfüred.

Apáti Church, Belső LakeWe stop briefly at the Apáti Church, rebuilt on Árpád-era foundations. From here, we ride up a paved bike path to the outskirts of Tihany, enjoying a Mediterranean atmosphere.

Apátság, VisszhangdombTo wrap up our tour, we’ll head back up—though if we arrive during the summer tourist season, we’ll have to get off our bikes here and there—to visit the peninsula’s must-see sights, the Abbey and Visszhang. Here, we might even have time for a quick coffee or a pastry, then we’ll glide back to our starting point along a thrilling serpentine road.
