Orfű Lakes
Orfűi-tavak
Four artificial lakes in the Mecsek Hills, offering summer swimming and boating, with walking and cycling routes around the water; a backyard for Pécs residents.
Orfű lies about 15 km northwest of Pécs. Four lakes are strung along the valley. In summer there are sandy beaches, paddleboarding and boating, and by the lakeside you'll find a water mill museum and forest trails. The Orfű Festival, a summer music festival, draws many young people every year. It is about a 25-minute drive, and buses also serve the area. Many guesthouses and restaurants stand by the lakes, and Orfű can be combined with Abaliget Cave into a half-day outing.
