Sunshine, beach and cycling in Hungary
One of the lesser known facts about Hungary is that it has a beach. Yes! Lake Balaton is the biggest lake in the country. It's surrounded by train tracks, but it's also possible to grab a bicycle and go partly (it's 203 km in total) around the lake.
A couple of years back, we went on a biking tour with friends around the lake. It was a hot summer day and we severely underestimated the toll it would take on our stamina and water reserves. We were almost at the end of both when we came across this place dedicated for tired cyclists, "Guruljon az élet", translated as "Let life roll". A huge garden with a beautiful view to Balaton, cooling homemade lemonades, hammocks... just what we needed.
