Keszthely, heart of the Balaton - Keszthely

The city of Keszthely claims to be the capital of the Balaton region. It is the largest city at the lake, with 24.000 inhabitants, so this description is not strange.

Keszthely is situated at the northwest end of the lake, at the border of the beautiful Keszthely hills. This lovely landscape is already milions of years old.

And off course there is the lake. Lake Balaton. The biggest lake of Europe, excluding Scandinavia and Russia. It´s the place to be for watersporters and sunlovers.
