Discover Balatonudvari: Beaches, golf and local history

Balatonudvari combines beaches and watersports with cycling, golf and local history. When choosing a hotel, you can first consider which of these aspects you want to shape your stay: time by the water, sporting interests or a cultural and historical theme.

Beaches in Balatonudvari

Balatonudvari Községi Strand is in the eastern part of Balatonudvari, near the town center; Fövenyesi Strand is in the Fövenyes district. Both beaches are flat and have no stairs. When choosing between the two beach locations, their settings are a clear point of difference, while their terrain features are the same.

At Balatonudvari Községi Strand, pedal boats, kayaks and SUP boards are available for seasonal rental. Take this seasonal operation into account when planning your travel dates.

Cycling and golf

If cycling is a factor in your choice of location, note where the Balatoni Bringakör runs: it passes near Fövenyesi Strand, on the opposite side of the railway line.

Balaton Golf Club in Balatonudvari has an 18-hole golf course. Its landscape includes four lush fairways with varied greens, ponds and vineyard areas dotted with mature pine trees. If you are choosing a destination with golf in mind, the course size and landscape offer two different points of reference.

Cemetery and legend

The protected cemetery in Balatonudvari features heart-shaped tombstones and is one of four protected cemeteries in Hungary. A legend passed down in Balatonudvari tells of a stonemason who made a heart-shaped tombstone for his beloved, who had drowned in Lake Balaton; villagers then created similar stones for their deceased. The story links the heart motif to a personal tale of loss and describes how the form was adopted in the village, according to the legend.
