Kishegy

Kishegy, located on the edge of Balatonlelle, is part of the Outer Somogy Hills, and at a height of nearly 300 meters, it offers an unparalleled panorama of Lake Balaton. The well-kept park forest and viewing terrace are popular destinations for excursions, complemented by a playground. The area is famous for its grape growing and wines, as well as its gastronomic events, such as Kishegyi Kortyok & Falatok (Kishegy Sips & Bites) and the Murci Festival. The highlight of the hill is the Baroque-style St. Donatus Chapel, built at the beginning of the 18th century, which remains one of the symbols of the wine region today.

It can be reached by car from Balatonlelle, via the local road network. Public transportation takes you to the center of the settlement, from where you can reach the site via paved roads. It is located about 6 km from the train station.
