The BAHART-LOCK modernizing and expanding A NEW PROJECT FOR ACTIVE Sports Facilities
As the largest infrastructural development of Hungary's most important resort area, the reconstruction of the Balaton lock system of HUF 19 billion has begun in Sófok, and the development of water tourism in the Sió canal will start soon, from HUF 340 million. With the modernization of the drainage system, the water sports route of Sió will be longer - it is planned to reach the mouth of the Danube as well - and the traffic of small boats suitable for sports and passenger transport between Lake Balaton and the Black Sea can start.

The professional and amateur riders of the Szekszárd Kayak-Canoe Sports Association, founded in 2010, are also following the processes with keen interest, because they hope that the Kiti dam will be another step towards the realization of the conditions of the waterway, which is important for them, mainly for sports purposes.

We can get around the Balaton how long?

There are several ways to get around Lake Balaton, with different vehicles, on foot, running, by boat, by bicycle. It depends on why it is worth setting out, what the weather conditions are like, if the wind is not good and the forecast is not in our favor, then surely even a runner can overtake our sailboat. If we want to get around as quickly as possible, we can get around in 3-4 hours by car, following the rules of the KRESZ, of course it also depends on whether we use the highway.

In second place is sailing with a good wind, the 2016 record holder at the Kékzigálat race, with 7 hours and 13 minutes, but remember that this journey can take up to 16 hours if there is no suitable wind, however, one of the advantages of sailing is that it does not you have to duck and follow the designated road surface, it is enough to turn one at Kenese and Keszthely.

You can cycle around Lake Balaton at a comfortable pace in 12-14 hours. Ultramarathon relays of 5-6 people can finish in 23 hours, and the Individual record is 18 hours. If we count on a walking tour, we have to allocate 40 hours for the journey. If we calculate the time between Révfülöp and Balatonboglár, then it certainly means 3 hours of exhausting swimming for the adventurous.

But let's not forget that Lake Balaton will impress us so much during the trip that we will definitely slow down, stop and admire it, everyone calculates this time for themselves, how much time they spend on it and it is better to multiply it by two, so less calculate your schedule.

Here in 2019 Camino Balaton by October 5-14 2019.

10 days of walking redefines many things in a person, there is time to be alone, there is time to think and relax - in a completely different form than what a person does during an average vacation. In addition, the girls not only worked regularly alongside the tour - as freelancers - but also kept a blog about their adventures. This is how it happened that the road was surrounded by unexpected interest: TV crews followed them with drones, radio interviews were made, locals waited for them to run at the border of the villages, and even several people - both acquaintances and strangers - joined for a section. Everywhere there was a hot tea, a kind invitation, a "let's go", and the amazing winter view of the frozen Lake Balaton was just a plus. Since the bike path is easy to walk and there are no big climbs, the 20-25 kilometers set daily can be completed by an average person, although it is sometimes not easy to get up and start for 10 days in a row. The road takes you through forests, along the coast, past reeds with highlights such as the high bank of Akarattya, the bay of gray cattle Kerekedi or the view from Fonyód to Badacsony and the Tanúhegye. Balaton Camino already attracted more than 100 participants in 2018, and tens of thousands followed the team's adventures on the blog, Facebook and Instagram pages.

This year, the members of the team will again discover the places open along the road, the best rest benches, the most delicious lunches, the most beautiful sections, and they will also provide news about the accommodations. In the meantime, they meet and talk with locals and guests connected to Balaton, take photos and tell stories on the blog. The goal is to show that Lake Balaton is a perfect destination for relaxation in all seasons, and that walking around it is a special experience - even if one completes the distance not all at once, but in sections.

Fifteen thousand runners are waiting for next year to 14 Ultrabalatonon

Next year, there will be 15,000 participants in the 14th NN Ultrabalaton mass sports event around Balaton, where the 221 kilometer distance can be completed individually or in relays, running or cycling.


At the event's press conference on Thursday, competition director Miklós Zelcsényi announced that after the 13,000 participants "produced" 5.2 tons of garbage after the Ultrabalaton organized in May this year, they decided to organize a green event in 2020.
"On the first day of our pasta party, which has become traditional, we will only give the guests recycled or paper cutlery and plates, from now on we will not put leaflets in the start packs, and we will not produce a printed program booklet, but all information will be available online for the participants, and the development on our mobile phone application" said Miklós Zelcsényi. He added that they would like to reduce last year's amount of garbage by at least half, but rather by a third.
The race director emphasized that the Ultrabalaton will be the first green-minded, environmentally conscious event among the major European running races. He also presented the recyclable, so-called trail cup, which will replace the previous plastic cups at the 2020 event. He pointed out that the plastic bottles accumulated at the refreshment points will be selectively collected and handed over to become recyclable material.
"Our goal with these measures is to leave as small an ecological footprint as possible," he added.
Péter Sárfalvi, Emmi's deputy state secretary responsible for sports facilities and sports relations, emphasized that such and similar sports events are very necessary because it is important to get as many people as possible to exercise regularly.
"Before 2010, the proportion of regular sportsmen in Hungary was 5 percent, today it has risen to 12-14 percent, but the long-term goal is to raise it to 20 percent," declared the deputy state secretary.
Imre Sztanó, the CEO of the eponymous sponsor NN Biztosító, reported that the company supports 60 running races worldwide, but even among them Ultrabalat occupies a special place, the essence of which can only be truly understood when someone starts on it.
It was said at the press conference that in 2007 there were only 200 entrants to the Ultrabalaton, and while in 2016 the event was sold out in 54 days, last year the entrants completed the entry list in just 22 minutes.
The 2020 Ultrabalathon will be held from May 14 to 17. The field of the 221-kilometer long-distance competition will start from Balatonfüred and return there after going around Lake Balaton. Information about the event can be viewed on the ultrabalaton.hu website.
