At the beginning of the first weekend of Nyitott Balaton we believed we have to say goodbye to all that's good, expecting apocalyptic weather. On Friday, Szigliget resembled a post-war zone and was nothing like the home of the Zander Festival, but Saturday graced the shores with great weather and Alsóörs with great pork dishes. No surprises there: we have always known that the Balaton was multifaceted: in the meantime, there was also a chocolate festival. a WWI exhibition. and a pop art crash course.
This is how the Balaton welcomed us on Friday
