Inner Lake (Belső-tó)

Belső-tó

A small lake in a volcanic crater basin, sitting about 25 meters above Lake Balaton, with a lakeside trail linking villages and lavender fields.

The Inner Lake is a basin on the Tihany Peninsula formed by volcanic activity. Its surface sits about 25 meters above Lake Balaton. Surrounded by reeds and rich in birdlife, it's part of Balaton Uplands National Park. A small path leads down from the village where the abbey stands to the lakeshore. The lakeside trail links the lavender fields and viewpoints, and from higher ground in the village you can see both the Inner Lake and the open waters of Lake Balaton beyond. Admission is free, and fishing is allowed.
