The northern shore offers deeper waters and grassy banks, while the southern shore is characterized by shallow, sandy entries. This selection includes managed resorts with Wi-Fi and card facilities, rustic campsites at the foot of the Badacsony hills, and recreational areas like the star-shaped Csillagvár hunting lodge and the Kalandstrand adventure park.
