Inner Lake, Tihany

The 30 hectares large Inner Lake is located near the town, 25 meters above the level of the Balaton. Since the 1960's, the lake has been known for its rich fauna of fish and ideal fishing spots. Swimming is allowed in the lake, according to a sign near the boat rental, even jumping in with our dogs.

On the other side of the lake there is a fenced area with Hungarian Gray cattle. According to the information board, these peaceful animals are used instead of machinery the keep the grass cut. Also, in 2003 ground squirrels were populated in the land as they help with the quality of the area's water balance.

The Inner Lake is also a recommended sight for its panorama and the boat rental options. After taking a nice troll, we can take a nap at one of the nearby benches.
