Kőröshegy Lavender Field
Lavenders in June
A trip to the Köröshegy Lavender Fields, where thousands of purple flowers are blooming at this time of year, is a real bucket-list activity. Anyone who has been to a lavender harvest knows that summer can hardly begin without a lavender programme.
The harvest will start from 7 June 2024 at Kőröshegy, just a stone’s throw from Zamárdi. Flower picking lasts for almost two months, as the 8 hectares of dazzling lavender fields bloom throughout the summer. Spend a few hours relaxing in the shady groves and enjoy the soothing effects of this special herb.
You can never have enough lavender
For true lavender fans, the Tihany Lavender Festival is also a must-visit. If you fancy a little adventure on the purple-clad slopes of the north coast of Lake Balaton, Zamárdi is still the perfect base. Platán Hotel is an excellent accommodation at Lake Balaton for lavender adventures in every respect, as the regular ferry services of the neighbouring Szántód Ferry make it easy to get to Tihany.
Tours Around Lake Balaton: Attractions of the Wonderful Landscapes
Platán Hotel is an excellent choice for accommodation at Lake Balaton if you’re seeking adventure around the lake, as it provides convenient access to both smaller and larger explorations in the area. You can also rent bikes locally, so all you need to do is choose a scenic route. The BalatonBike365 app is a great companion for bicycle tours!
We also recommend a visit to the Kőhegy Lookout, which offers a fabulous view of Lake Balaton, but the coastal walks and the numerous interesting sights of Zamárdi also offer special experiences.
