Every year, Hungary hosts several prestigious World and European championships, national tournaments and matches.

Sports and activities

The bike route circling the lake, officially known as the Balaton Cycling Route, is a system of cycle paths enabling active holidaymakers to bike around Hungary’s largest lake. Today, it has various additional routes and only a part of the route is actual cycle paths: the rest are low-traffic public roads suitable for cycling, running close to or, at times, a bit farther away from the lake itself. But don’t worry, each section is full of attractions. You can test your skills on three golf courses in the capital. One of the oldest Hungarian golf courses, the Hungarian Golf Club is located near the capital in Kisoroszi. The Zala Springs Golf Resort in Zalacsány awaits visitors longing for relaxation with swimming and adventure pools, jacuzzis and saunas; its 18-hole golf course is outstanding even by European standards.
