Siofok Balaton Hungary 4К

Описание: 00:02 Friends, hello. With you Vadim Peterson and we are in Hungary in the resort town of Siofok on the shores of the famous Lake Balaton. For 4 years now, my family and I have been living in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Slovenia has a great location. Whichever direction you go, there are super attractions everywhere. On magnificent roads with a breeze of 130 km / h. We are now going to Budapest. Two years ago, I sent a request for tickets for the European Championship 2020 and through a lottery received tickets for the quarterfinal match in Budapest. Last year, due to law, the championship was postponed to this year, and now we are on our way to Budapest for the Czech Republic-Netherlands match. From Ljubljana to Budapest about 5 hours of leisurely drive with small stops and about 500 km. We decided to stretch this time a little and stopped for a couple of hours to walk around the resort town of Siofok and see Lake Balaton, on which Siofok. A small town of just over 25,000 people is located very close to the highway and only 115 km from Budapest. We have never been to Balaton yet. Let's see what the resort town of Hungary is on the shore of the lake. Forward.
00:31 Now we are on the main square of Siofok - Freedom Square (a very popular name in Hungary), where you can find everything and almost everything. This is a supermarket, a bank and the main attraction of the city - the water tower, built in 1912.
The Hungarians have fought for the liberation of their country for almost their entire history. Whoever ruled Hungary - these are the Mongols, Ottomans, Habsburgs, Polish princes, Byzantine, Sicilian, Luxembourgish and Bavarian dynasties. In general, the word “Freedom” is not just a word for Hungarians.
7:43 What is so special about Siofok? Remember the famous Soviet film adaptations of Imre Kalman's operettas, such as the circus princess, Silva, Mr. X. So the famous Hungarian composer Imre Kalman was born here, in Siofok. Let's go watch the musical pavilion in his honor. One of his works can be launched on a smartphone using a free application.
13:58 The center of Siofok is connected to the Balaton embankment by a bridge that runs over the railway tracks. A very interesting solution. In addition to your car, you can get to Siofok by public transport. There is a train from Budapest to Siofok several times a day. The price is about 8 euros. Travel time is about 1, 5 hours. Departure from Delhi South Station. How long does it take to see Siofok? It took us about two hours of a leisurely walk.
What else is Siofok remarkable for? Vegria does not have its own sea, but there is a very large lake Balaton, which is one of the ten largest lakes in Europe. Balaton is a very popular destination among Hungarians and tourists. There are many resort towns on the coast. So Siofok can be said to be the capital of the southern shore of Lake Balaton.
Siofok got its name from an artificial canal, which was dug by the Romans. The canal connects Lake Balaton and the Danube. Now the channel is used as a water level regulator in Balaton. The Balaton season lasts two months - July and August. During these months, all cafes are open until late. The length of the Siofok beach is more than 10 kilometers. There are no pebbles and sand on the beaches, there is grass instead.
The water, as the locals say, warms up only in July and August, but they swim in June as well, we have witnessed this. Balaton is very comfortable with children, as it is shallow near the shore. In general, Lake Balaton is not considered a deep lake and therefore it is also called “the largest puddle in Central Europe”. It is also called the Hungarian Sea, and the Hungarians simply Balchi. The ancient Romans called Balaton Lake Pelso.
18:13 Lake Balaton. Like any other attraction, Balaton has its own legend, according to which there is a church at the depth of the lake, in which a girl begs for her sins and cries constantly. While she cries, there will always be water in Balaton.
25:47 We will walk along the Petofi Alley, which runs along the Balaton embankment. The entrance to the beach is paid, we were not going to swim, so we will limit ourselves to a walk along the alley. During the season, the Alley turns into a large cafe.
