Lake Theiß:
Lake Theiß has a surface area of 127 square kilometres. After Lake Balaton, it is Hungary's second largest lake. It was created about 20 years ago after Teiß River was dammed. Part of the lake has been declared a nature reserve (Bird sanctuary), but most of it is available for water sports, fishing and swimming. Unlike Lake Balaton, motor boats are allowed here. Lake Theiß is a fishers' paradise; catfish, pike-perch, carp, and even sturgeon can be caught here with ease by experienced fishermen. But even beginners will enjoy their luck! Boat rentals are available at the lake.
