Badacsonytomaj on Lake Balaton: Mountain, Shore and Wine

Badacsonytomaj on the northern shore of Lake Balaton

Badacsonytomaj lies at the foot of Badacsony Mountain. Most of the mountain is located within the city’s territory. Badacsonytomaj lies in the western part of the northern shore of Lake Balaton. When choosing a place on Lake Balaton, the side of the shore is a clear first point of reference. The mountain name Badacsony provides a second geographical anchor for orientation. Travellers who plan their days around the lakeshore and landscape can locate the town by its position on the shore and Badacsony Mountain. This keeps Badacsonytomaj clearly located as a destination on the Lake Balaton map.

Getting there by train

Badacsonytomaj is served by the Székesfehérvár–Tapolca railway line. The stops Badacsonyörs, Badacsonytomaj and Badacsony are located along the line. When planning a journey by train, the name of the line and the specific stop are important points of reference. Badacsonytomaj is named as a separate stop; Badacsonyörs and Badacsony are additional stops on the same line. Travellers who want to locate the holiday destination not only by its landscape but also by its transport connections can take the railway line into account as an independent planning reference.
