LAKE DESEDA

One of the most popular places around Kaposvár is Lake Seda, which is the longest artificial lake in our country. The 8 km long lake, named after a medieval village, has been waiting for hikers and sports enthusiasts since 1974.

Every season holds excitement for visitors. In the hot summer months, the beach and the excursion boat are the most popular programs, while in the winter, ice skating attracts winter sports lovers. On a pleasant spring or autumn day, you can cycle around the lake or walk around the winding hiking trails. 

Bicycle path

In 2022, the cycle path around Lake Deseda became the cycle path of the year. Around the lake, an ecotourism route, a 14 km long (mostly) asphalted bicycle path with three bicycle rest points and water blocks, a lookout point and 2 wooden bridges to the Deseda peninsula was built, so today even families can circle the beautiful lake on a pleasant bicycle path.

Arboretum

An arboretum has been created on the largest peninsula of Deseda, which can be visited free of charge. It can be approached via a 100-meter wooden bridge, where you can learn about the domestic tree species and the fauna that live here on two nature trails.

Viewpoint

There is a lookout point on the shore of the lake, from which a wonderful panorama of Deseda opens up. A real children's paradise was created around the three-story facility. The wooden toys, the mini climbing wall and the soft walking surface depicting fish will immediately become a favorite of the little ones. While the children play, the parents can sit on the bench and relax and enjoy the lake.

Adventure forest

The Adventure Forest is located on the shores of Lake Deseda, which offers a lot of excitement for hikers. The huge wooden playground has a slide, climbing frame, seesaw, climbing wall, hanging and balancing toys. On the forest's four interactive learning trails, the primary school age group can get to know the plants and animals living in our environment in a playful way.
