lead: August is the month when EVERYTHING happens. Most people go on a vacation or to the beaches in August, since it is also the warmest month of the year. Program wise the month of August is full with wine-themed programs around Lake Balaton. This will also be the case in Hévíz, where you can taste countless wines from more than 10 wineries at the Wine and Gastro Promenade!

tartalom: + 1 We will consider excellent any quality of wine that can age without any addition, without mixing any substances which can altered its natural flavor. In fact, the best things are those that can be appreciated for their intrinsic characteristics Lucius Junius Moderatus Columella, Roman writer   A Drop of Wine and a Drop of History Wine is a drink created by alcoholic fermentation from the squeezed sweet juice of wine-growing grape clusters. People have been making wine for at least 600 years. According to the Bible, Noah planted grapes on the side of Mount Ararat and made intoxicating wine from them. According to archaeological research, the habit of growing grapes and making wine first appeared in Transcaucasia (the territory of present-day Turkey, Iran and Armenia). In the area of ​​the Carpathian basin, the Romans cultivated grapes even before the conquest. According to Anonymus, the chronicler, the ancestors of the Hungarians knew wine. From the end of the 3rd century, the spread of Christianity promoted the cultivation of grape varieties that produce red wine. The Hungarians cultivated grapes mainly around the castles. At the time of King Matthias, our country was one of the most famous grape-producing countries in Europe. In 1815, the first wine book in Hungarian was published, and in the 18th century, the mandatory wine production standards of communities, the rights and obligations of the owners were recorded in laws. Pure varietal plantations appeared in the Hungarian wine regions from the end of the 19th century.   You can taste the wines of several excellent wineries from 18 to 21 August at the Hévíz Wine and Gastro Promenade! We have collected some wineries to get you started:   This Year’s Winner The guest of honor of Hévíz Wine and Gastro Promenade will be the Cézár Winery. A Savignon Blanc from 2021 was titled Wine of the City this year, which you can taste at the stand of the winery as well. The winery has 100 hectares of vineyards and was built in 2006 in Nagyrada, not too far from Kis-Balaton. Previously, several lands were purchased in the area and several red wine grapes were planted alongside the white varieties. Until the winery was built, there were many varieties, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sírah, Pinot Noir, Malbec Cabernet Franc. The winery belongs to the Zala wine region, and it is the largest plant in the Zala region with its 2,500 m2 land. Their philosophy is to make the quality wines of the region known as widely as possible, so that outstanding wines can be produced in the region with high-quality technology and theoretical knowledge. In addition to wines, other grape-related products, e.g. they also produce balsamic vinegar, cognac brandy, grape seed oils, and ground coffee. Quality - Dedication - Future - Experience - 100% CEZAR www.cezarpinceszet.hu   Thousand Goods from Mór The Paulus Winery was founded in 2012, and currently has 130 hectares of growing land. Generosa, Ezerjó (Thousan Good), Welsh Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Királyleányka (Little Princess) were predominantly planted in the area. With its territory extending at the feet of the Vértes Mountains, Paulus is the largest winery in the Mór wine region. In addition to 15 varieties of white grapes, there is also the Pinot Noir grape variety that forms the basis of their Rosé wines. In addition to mechanized harvesting, which is unique in the country, they also keep in mind the need for the work of careful hands. Their goal is to adapt to consumer needs, which is why they offer their wines in dry, semi-dry and sweet flavors. In addition to still wines, sparkling wines and champagnes are also available in their selection. www.paulusborhaz.hu   To Villány and Beyond The Mokos Family Winery has been present in the life of the wine region for 3 generations. Their carefully harvested grapes can be found on the slopes of the Villány Mountains. In 2003, they started planting 15 hectares of grapes on the plantations inherited from their predecessors, which were further expanded in 2018 with 2 hectares of white grapes, further expanding the selection of varieties. Portugieser, Kékfrankos (Blaufrankisch – Blue Frankish), Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon are typical for the region, and you can also try them at their stand. In addition to red wines, they also produce fruit wine specialties, which are made from ingredients from their own 45-hectare orchard. From strawberry to blueberries you will find a wide range of varieties. The winery produces around 100,000 bottles of wine each year. www.mokos.hu   More information Tourinform Office Hévíz Hévíz, Rákóczi u. 2.

cím: Perfect autumn hiking spots around Kis-Balaton!

lead: This autumn is kind to us! In this pleasant autumn sunshine, we have the opportunity to explore many beautiful places, go on hikes, hikes, and bike rides!

tartalom: + 1 Kányavári Island The arched wooden bridge built from wooden beams in the 1980s has now become a symbol of Kis-Balaton. We can enjoy a wonderful view from the bridge. We can admire such special waterfowl as the great egret, gray heron, or the cormorant, which is less popular with fishermen. On the one-and-a-half kilometer long Búbosvöcsök nature trail, 15 signs present the fish, birds, and mammals of the Little Balaton. You can also fish on the island and you can spy the water and the Zalai hills from two lookouts. In cooler weather, a little indoor attraction is good The Kis-Balaton Visitor Center is an exhibition of the Balaton Upland National Park that has only been open for 2 years. It is an excellent choice for the whole family all year round. You can walk along an interactive nature trail on the building's green-roofed structure, which looks like wildlife crossings. From here you can clearly see the winter bird feeders and you can hear the "opening song" of the ever more active black tit. The building houses a gift shop and a restaurant, and children can enjoy fresh air on the playground in the courtyard, while parents refresh themselves with coffee. Part of the exhibition is the cinema, where during a half-hour film we can get to know the winter-summer, autumn-spring life of Kis-Balaton through soul-touching quotes selected from the novels of István Fekete Tüskevár and Téli berek, all in the understanding interpretation of Gábor Reviczky. In the interactive part of the exhibition, we can find out what invasive species are and why we don't like them. We will find out what the role of Little Balaton is in protecting the water quality of Lake Balaton, and we can even examine water samples ourselves. Those who want to see even more of this magical wildlife can take part in a guided canoe tour organized by the Balaton Upland National Park from early spring to late autumn. The winter canoeing season has also started on the Hévíz stream. Those who take part in this can row along the Hévíz stream and then the Gyöngyös stream, and get to know this unique wetland. The end point of the rowing tour is Diás Island, where the Matula hut, evoking the atmosphere of Tüskevár, stands. At the István Fekete Memorial next to the small wooden hut, you can also delve into the hidden wonders of Kis-Balaton during a very interesting exhibition. Our secret tip is the bird watch and fish ladder Several locations in Kis-Balaton, such as the aforementioned Diás island, can only be visited with a guide, but there are still quite a few romantic and protected areas that can be visited freely without a guide. Next to the Zala river, at the dam of Lake Hídvégi, you can find the Madárvártara, which was built by Zurich students from thousands of acacia logs without any nails or screws. Next to the parking lot, 100 meters away on the fish ladder, depending on the season, you can marvel at the cavalcade of fish. The fish ladder between the Zala River and Lake Hidvégi slows down the flow of water, so that fish can easily swim upstream.   Buffaloes and other types of animals In the Kápolnapuszta buffalo reserve, in addition to the black giants, the ground squirrels are the favorites of children and adults, who cutely graze on the grass grazed by the buffaloes. Anyone who did not know János Arany's poem Arany Lacinak would not even think that the poor groundhog was "cast". Even at the beginning of the 20th century, groundhogs were considered harmful and therefore water was poured into their passages. Other spectacular animals are the jumping goats and donkeys in the petting zoo. In the colonies dug into the loess wall, the gophers attract attention with their brightly colored feathers. But what about buffaloes? The Balaton Upland National Park started breeding water buffalo in the area purchased in 1992 for the purpose of gene conservation. The largest herd of buffaloes in the country can be found in the territory of the reserve, which lives in great peace with the gray cattle. During the winter, the animals spend most of their time in the barn near the entrance, where you can see the traditional animal husbandry in a cozy old photo next to the buffaloes. In case of good weather, the animals are in the pastures, which can be reached in the easiest way by a horse-drawn carriage ordered from the reception building. The giants are "buffalo-strong" and do not necessarily always approach people with friendly intentions, and driving through them in a horse-drawn carriage is a real "safari" feeling. A new feature of the reserve is the viewing platform, which was handed over on January 28, from which we can now also observe the animals from above. (GPS: 46.581816, 17.20314) Kis-Balaton House, cultural trip Next to Zalavár, next to the foundation walls of the former St. Adorján church and the Cyril and Methodius memorial column, you can enjoy photos of the wonders of Zala county in a very cool Millennium Memorial designed by Imre Makovecz. You can read the names of the county's settlements in the letters hanging from the top of the specially shaped dome. At the Kis-Balatonház exhibition, you can learn about the living world, and children can have fun on the playground. Next to the Kis-Balaton Ház, you can reach the Kányavári island on the asphalted bicycle path on the banks of the Zala river. At the Kis-Balaton Ház you can also rent a bicycle, if you don't start on the asphalted Zala coast, but in the other direction, you can even go as far as Zalaapáti on the embankment.   Are you interested in more hiking tips in the area?

The Kis-Balaton Visitor Center is the latest exhibition in the Balaton Uplands National Park.

cím: Give RELAXATION this year as your gift!

A common activity that gives new energy and distracts from everyday life can be a nice touch. Here's our tips if you like to gift someone a bit of Hévíz.

tartalom: + 1 Even if we buy the usual lovely gifts to have something to unpack under the Christmas tree, we should think about surprising our loved ones, parents and children with the experience of relaxing together at Christmas. The vouchers purchased can usually be redeemed for months, so that we can choose the best time for a trip together, whether it is right after the holidays or not until spring, even in the summer heat.   FURTHER ADVANTAGES OF GIFTING A VOUCHER You don't have to wander from shop to shop to get it, you can buy it online from home using a bank card. It will be even delivered to your home. It doesn't have to be wrapped either. It can easily be hidden from prying eyes. If you bought it for your partner, but it is intended for 2 people, you can probably enjoy the joys of relaxation too. Its ecological footprint is smaller than of many other gifts made in the Far East. The value of the vouchers also varies, and their contents can be combined according to your taste and needs, so that you can tailor your relaxation to your individual needs.   HAVE WE PIQUED YOUR INTEREST?

cím: Beaches, spas, lake shores at the western end of Lake Balaton!

lead: The real summer arrived on June 1. There were places where the thermometers already showed 30°C on the first day of summer and many people were already bathing in Lake Balaton, despite the fact that spring was not very kind to us, so the heat arrived quite late. So it's time to give you an overview of where and how much you can swim in the Hévíz area this summer after the adventure parks.

tartalom: + 1 The great advantage of this article is that it shows on a map which beach is where, and what is worth knowing about it, and you can even find pictures! If you are also interested in the prices, scroll down a little towards the end of the article! A black poi indicates the Hévíz Tófürdő and beach Red dots show the classic beaches on the Balaton shore In the place of burgundy pois, there are adventure parks and adventure baths The blue pois are lakes where you can't swim, but you can fish instead :) Let's see which are the classic beaches next to Lake Balaton. There are roughly 7+2 beaches near Hévíz that are very popular among guests. Keszthely City Beach | Keszthely Libás Beach | Alsógyenes Lidó Beach | Gyenesdiás Play Beach | Vonyarcvashegyi Lido Beach | Balatongyörök Beach | Balatonberény Beach + Dog Beach in Keszthely and Naturist Beach in Balatonberény   It is typical of the above beaches that you can go for a walk or even take a bath outside of the high season. You can use the playgrounds and sports fields, but the buffets and restrooms are only open during the beach season. In the late spring period, you should expect that renovations, weeding, flower planting, and toys are being renovated, but by the beginning of June, almost all beaches can be visited. There are entrance tickets, where they start collecting from June 1, and where they start collecting from the beginning of the school holidays. The opening hours - as long as you have to buy a full price ticket - are usually between 8:00 and 18:00, but in many places you can buy an evening swimming ticket before closing, which is cheaper and usually after 6 or 7, entry is free. Most beaches have student and pensioner discounts, family tickets or weekly passes can also be purchased. In terms of accessibility, a common feature of the beaches in the area is that they are easy to find. By bicycle, the cash desks are almost within reach of the Balaton bicycle path, and by car, of course, you can park for free next to every beach. Moreover, with the exception of the dog beach and the Libás beach, all other beaches are close to the local train station, so if you can, you can even go by train.   Lake Hévíz, as a uniqueness, is a spa, lake spa and beach spa all in one Unique in the world, Lake Hévíz combines thermal spas and beach spas in such a way that none of them really exist. Due to its uniqueness, you can bathe in the natural thermal spring all year round, and thanks to the covered parts, you can enjoy the experience of warm water even in pouring rain or snow. Depending on the weather, in the spring, usually in May, the beach area opens even earlier, where you can enjoy the pleasures of water around 30°C or even warmer before the Balaton beach season. The children's pools are only filled in mid-June, as they have heated normal water. From the point of view that you can swim in a real, natural, warm water lake and relax and sunbathe on its shore, it is more like a beach, but based on the services, opening hours and prices based on medicinal water, it can be classified more like a thermal spa. You definitely have to try it once, because it is really unique and special, completely different from all the usual beaches and adventure pools! Adventure baths and slide park Near Hévíz, we have to write about 3 major thermal and adventure baths and a slide park. Closer to Hévíz is the Kehida Thermal Bath in Kehidakustány, many people also visit the Karos Spa complex in Zalakaros, and Zalaszentgrót also has a thermal and adventure bath. Perhaps a little further, in Zalaegerszeg there is an Aquacity and slide park. The common feature of the first three thermal spas is that their indoor pools are open all year round, but in the summer season they also open their outdoor beach with adventure park, slides and a large green surface to the public. These baths, although they cannot be called classic beaches, can be visited regardless of the weather, since even if we cannot use the outdoor experiences, the indoor pools are still open. Another important feature they have in common is that they have pools with medicinal water and heated normal water pools. Aquacity, located next to the last-mentioned Zalaegerszeg, only operates in the summer, during the school holidays. It does not have an indoor bath, only outdoor pools and numerous slides, among which all ages can find their favorite. At the same time, just like the Balaton beaches, this adventure bath is only visited in nice, summer weather. The ticket prices of the spas and beaches do not reflect the quality of the services! On the slightly more expensive beaches, the extra program options and extra experience elements provide the basis for a higher price category, while the slightly cheaper beaches are typically smaller, more family-friendly, and offer fewer but equally high-quality services. In addition, all the classic beaches listed here (except for dogs and naturists) have Blue Wave certification and are multiple category winners (child-friendly beach, sporty beach, green beach). The different types of ticket prices mean that entrance tickets to most beaches in the pre-summer season, in June, are cheaper than in July and August.
