    Hiking

    It is located on the Margó Ede promenade directly on the lake shore. The sculpture is made of red sandstone and was created by István Fáskerti. The heart symbolizes the connection of people with Lake Balaton and is considered a landmark of the city.

    The special feature:
    Through the heart-shaped opening, you can see the famous Tihany Abbey on the opposite peninsula in clear weather.
    The sculpture is a popular photo spot, especially at sunset.
    Right next to it is the "Bridge of Lovers", where couples traditionally celebrate their bond.

    The stone sculpture is oriented in such a way that you can see the Tihany Abbey with a look through the heart.
