Zamárdi: Beach, History and Experiences

Beach with a Wide View

The Great Beach of Zamárdi, the Great Beach on Margó Ede sétány, is a three-kilometre-long, continuous, grassy and shady free beach with panoramic views of the Tihany Peninsula. If you organise your days in Zamárdi by theme, this beach can stand as a separate waterfront theme alongside recreational and cultural destinations. For personal planning, this waterfront area can thus be clearly separated from the other themes of the town.

Courses and Adventure Train

The Zamárdi Adventure Park has a total of 18 courses and 200 obstacles. The Zamárdi Adventure Park’s adventure train travels through the entire park, runs along the lake, passes through a tunnel and completes an 8- to 10-minute round trip with a stop at the maze. Anyone including the adventure park in their daily itinerary can distinguish between the courses and the separate round trip without confusing the two offerings in wording.

A Supervisory Role in the Fun Park

The staff of the Zamárdi Fun Park take on a kind of animator role and look after the children’s needs. For a day with children, you can consider this supervisory task as a separate aspect.

A House with History

The village museum of Zamárdi is located in a house built in 1847, which was restored to its original form in 1975. The house of the village museum has walls 80 to 100 centimetres thick; each room is accessible separately from the covered porch. Those who like to anchor history in a specific building can focus at the village museum on the year of construction, the restoration, the wall thickness and the distinctive layout of the rooms. This gives the museum visit a clear architectural focus.

Production at the Pálinka Manufactory

At the Zimek Pálinka Manufaktúra, visitors can learn about how the distillation system works and the mashing process under the guidance of a pálinka master. For your travel planning, the manufactory can be noted as a separate topic. The focus is on specific production steps, not merely on the name of the establishment.
