Review:

Created in 1997 by the combination of six already-protected areas, Balaton Uplands National Park encompasses almost 57,000 hectares on the shores of the stunning Lake Balaton. The park is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species, and there are plenty of walking paths for visitors to enjoy. Each of the six areas has its own unique charm; visitors can rent small boats to paddle around in the cave system of Cave Lake in the Tapolca Basin, admire the amazing rock formations in the Bakony-Balaton Geopark, or visit Kányavár Island to climb the lookout tower and spot great crested grebes.
