The Allure of Lake Balaton

AS YOU OPEN UP this October edition of William Penn Life, the 2012 WPA Tour to Prague, Lake Balaton and Budapest will be all but over. My parents were fortunate to be part of this adventurous group of travelers. My edes apa and anyam celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary by taking this dream vacation.

A few weeks preceding their late September departure from Detroit, I began to research the planned daily itinerary. I was really enamored by the five-day stay at a resort hotel in Balatonfüred. I now realize why this region is a favorite vacation spot for Germans and other Western Europeans in particular.

Lake Balaton is the largest freshwater lake in Central Europe. It is about half the size of Lake St. Clair or nine times bigger than Pymatuning Reservoir. Nicknamed “The Hungarian Sea,” this body of water averages 10 feet in depth. The Zala River supplies the water for the mere.

In 1863, the Sió River was transformed into a canal and now serves as the drain for the Plattensee. Eventually, the waters of the Balaton empty into the Danube River.

I recommend that you take a webcam visit of the Balaton via the internet. A simple Google search of “Lake Balaton webcam’’ will yield several live sites showing the lake and various attractions.

This month, the word search puzzle features cities and tourist spots in and around Lake Balaton. There are 16 clues in this puzzle. Good Luck!
