Tihany Cross Endurance Hike, September 27, 2026

Tihany Cross Full Challenge 2026

September 27, 2026. | Tihany

There’s a place where every trail offers a new experience. Where the scent of lavender fields, volcanic hills, forest trails, and the breathtaking panorama of Lake Balaton combine to make this nature hike unforgettable.

Tihany Cross Full Experience Tour is not a race, but a shared adventure. A day when everyone can explore the most beautiful landscapes of the Tihany Peninsula at their own pace, while completing a special challenge.

You can choose between two routes:
🥾 5 km – a leisurely, family-friendly adventure through the Belső Valley, past the lavender fields, and through Szarkádi Forest.
🥾 10 km — a scenic loop through the peninsula’s iconic sites, from the ruins of Apáti church, through the panoramic views of Apáti Hill, to the lavender fields.

The tour route follows a trail agreed upon with the Balaton Uplands National Park, exclusively on designated paths, respecting the peninsula’s unique natural values.

🏅 Every successful finisher will receive a unique commemorative medal to take home as a memento of the day.
