Excursion routes

Dear Hiking Seekers,We like to spend time on the beach in the summer sun-shine; however, sometimes you may want to interrupt it in case of cooler weather by making bigger outings since there are so many attractions in the Balaton Region. In our booklet we tried to collect – however, not compre-hensively – destinations that can be found within 100 km from Zamárdi, of which everybody can choose the one she likes. We wish you a good browsing, a lot of experi-ence and recreation! Tourinform Office, Community Center and City Library of Zamárdi
