Driving along the lake Balaton we saw the brown road sign " Tihany ". With zero info, we drove up to find an interesting village which happened to be a touristic one to our surprised. Parking seemed not easy to find and finally we found one along the village main road. It was a pay parking. We went up following the direction to a baroque Abbey Church. Wow what an idyllic setting. Calendar-inspired views. One can make a pleasant walk in a well-paved pathways. In the Visitor Center, one can buy a ticket for a guided tour + a short film about the Abbey. I recommend this. Friar Richard guided us. A group of tourist had an spontaneous " choir concert ". Around the Abbey is a Guest House that opens whole year round. There is a pastry shop where you can have breakfast or hot meals. It has a terrace overlooking the placid, serene Balaton Lake. Beautiful. When in Balaton Lake, come to this village and be filled with spirituality too. Had a short stay but very meaningful. The Peace of God !

This is one of the hidden gems of this magical place. As a Catholic the stations of the cross move me but these are so beautiful so huge so imposing that it checks in my throat everytime I see it. Well worth the visit.

The statue itself is simple with clean lines but combined in a photo with the view behind it becomes really lovely.

I went here in August 2019. I had no idea it was at the top of a hill so I wasn't able to get to the top because I wasn't wearing shoes that were good for hiking. Make sure you wear good hiking shoes so you don't slip on the trail as the trail is small and steep in some places. I would love to go back there and actually see the cliff dwelling. The view from the hill is very nice and there are many gift shops below the hill. If you're afraid of heights, the trail can be a bit scary but it offers a lot of nice views. I believe there are two trails that go to the same place so the other one might be safer.
