A Velencei-tó velencei strandján jártunk a hétvégén, ahol már a parkolásnál az az érzetünk támadt, hogy itt már nincs több embernek hely. Ez az érzés a parton csak fokozódott, ugyanis olyan zsúfolt volt a strand, hogy azt gondoltam, hogy már a vízben sem lesz több hely, nem csak a parton. Azt elég nehezen tudtam felfogni, hogy miért kell a Velencei-tó strandját tengerpartnak álcázva sok homokkal, illetve napernyőkkel, nyugágyakkal telecseszni. Attól még az nem lesz sem tenger, sem tengepart, sem "tengerpart fíling"😉. Ez egy echte ungarische "gatyaáztató", annak minden tartozékával (lángosos, palacsintás, hekkes, stb., stb.). Innen már csak az hiányzik, hogy normálisan befüvesítsék a még nyugágymentes részeket, és oda valami nagy lombú, gyorsan növő fákat ültessenek, hogy azoknak is jusson árnyék akiknek nyugágy/napernyő nem jutott, vagy nem akarnak a homokban fetrengeni. Nyilván ez nem hoz senkinek bevételt közvetlenül (közvetve igen, mert kellemesebb lesz a környezet, és szívesebben jönnek az emberek, bár így is tömve volt a strand, akkor meg minek költeni rá 😕), viszont sokkal kevesebb lesz majd a dolga a bőrgyógyászoknak, ha az emberek árnyékba tudnak húzódni a strandon. Aztán megcsodáltuk az agyatlanság minta példáját, az elhíresült "szelfi széksort" a parton, mely a tónak háttal a járda felé néz, ahol nincs semmi látnivaló. Ezt okosabb helyeken úgy oldották meg, hogy a beton tuskó tetejére nem ilyen SZTK székeket szereltek, hanem fából lécet/deszkát, és azon mindenki arra fordul amerre akar, akár a tó felé, akár a járda felé. Ja, és nem mellesleg ezeket a székeket, a nap pár év alatt szétégeti, azok megfakulnak, töredeznek, balesetveszélyesek lesznek. Bár valószínűleg annyi időt nem is érnek meg, mert esténként a nagyon erőssé váló bulibárók ezen fogják lemérni, hogy ki milyen erősre itta magát. Na mindegy, ez mondjuk nem a tó hibája, hanem a tökfej döntéshozóké. Tehát mindent egybevéve kb. mint a Balaton, annak bármelyik szabad strandjával (csak ott több az árnyék 👍), úgyhogy aki ott jól érzi magát, az valószínűleg itt is, akinek az nem pálya, az inkább ide se látogasson el, mert csalódni fog, én speciel jól éreztem magam, egyszer ezt is meg...

Its warm water - sometimes it is 26-28 Celsius degrees warm - making it one of Europe’s warmest lakes. It has many beaches, providing refreshment on hot days. Its shallow beaches are excellent for families with small children. If you would go deeper into nature, leave the noisy beaches and discover the hidden paths among the reed islands of the lake. Kayak rentals in Gárdony provide you not only SUP or kayak, but routes, maps and advice about where to paddle and what to see. If you’re more into biking, then you’ll have plenty routes to choose from. The bicycle road is quite new and the routes offer you a great scenery. Bike rentals are open all day in...

One of my favorite lake in Hungary. Breathtaking scenes of natural scenery. Amazing views something you should experience when you come. When you visit it early in the morning. The best time it is. How can you not appreciate the beauty of the largest fresh water lake in the world? I can't even find words for how much this lake. When you visit in Hungary then must watch. Your time will...

✔️The lake is reachable by MAV trains or car. ✔️You can have wakeboarding or do the class first to learn 🏄 ✔️Some parts water is shallow and some not ✔️There are lots of shops around: Spar, Rossman etc. so you can buy anything needed 🙂 ✖️The water isn’t clear, so you wouldn’t see what are you stepping at 🫣 ✖️Gets very crowded

Love the place. Nice to visit in summers. Lake has different point of beaches, so kindly check on maps and while using Trains. Not far from Budapest. The water is not as clear as you’d expect !
