If you\u2019re looking for places at the northeastern shore of Lake Balaton to enjoy a panorama over the whole lake, the next tips are for you! Pay these picturesque spots a visit when out and about, and don\u2019t forget to take photos on the way. The view will certainly make you pull out your camera.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blessed Virgin Church, D\u00f6rgicse<\/h3>\n

Giving home to three medieval church ruins, D\u00f6rgicse gives most other villages of the area a run for their money. Our favourite of the trio is the 13th century Church of the Blessed Virgin, located atop Gernye Hill. Despite having been abandoned in the 18th century, its three-storey tower is still an imposing sight. The meadow next to the ruins offers a great view to the lake, and makes a perfect place for a nice picnic!<\/p>\n

Kir\u00e1lyk\u0151, Kapolcs<\/h3>\n

Situated above the lovely village of Kapolcs, the monumental basalt columns of Kir\u00e1lyk\u0151 (King Stone) are said to be the remnants of an ancient fortress which legend has it, belonged to Attila the Hun himself. Nowadays, the imposing boulder serves as a popular viewpoint to the Eger Valley, yet one can still see the reminders of Attila\u2019s time in the form of earthen ramparts that demarcate an area of 80×50 meters.<\/p>\n

\u0150rtorony Lookout Tower, Tihany<\/h3>\n

\u0150rtorony Lookout Tower is located at Tihany Peninsula, offering an all-round panoramic view of the whole lake and its surroundings. If you are visiting on a cloudless day, you can also see the outlines of Bakony Mountain in the north and Somogy Mountain in the distance. The unique tower is located on the edge of a former volcano crater, so looking down gives an extraordinary glimpse into the former volcanic activity.<\/p>\n

Somly\u00f3 Mountain Lookout Tower, Als\u00f3\u00f6rs<\/h3>\n

The recently renovated, three-storey Somly\u00f3 Mountain Lookout Tower offers one of the most beautiful panoramas over Lake Balaton. A 74-step spiral staircase runs up to the 17.5 meters high wooden tower. Considering the height of the tower, it\u2019s no wonder the whole of Lake Balaton and the nearby villages can be seen from here. Explore this wonderful area for yourself, and let its versatility sweep you off your feet!<\/p>\n

\u00d6sk\u00fc Round Church<\/h3>\n

One of the plateaus of Bakony Mountain gives home to the Round Church of \u00d6sk\u00fc, known for its unique dome. The Roman-style church is one of the oldest in Hungary, as it was built in the 11th century. The monument boasts a semi-circular shrine, porthole windows, and a hemispherical tiled roof. There\u2019s no evidence proving its origins, some say it used to be a Turkish mosque, while others think of it as a dungeon.<\/p>\n
