Winter Paddling on the Hévíz Stream

A Warm-Water Adventure in Winter

Fed by the thermal waters of Lake Hévíz, the stream remains ice-free even during the coldest months. Mist rises above the water, while water lilies, marshland and waterbirds create a remarkable natural setting.

Guided canoe and kayak tours offer a chance to experience this protected landscape from a completely different perspective.

What to Expect

The approximately 10-kilometre route leads from Hévíz towards Fenékpuszta, passing through quiet waterways and reed-lined wetlands.

The gentle current makes the tour suitable for beginners, with experienced guides providing instructions and the necessary equipment. The complete excursion, including preparation and transfers, generally takes around five to six hours.

Whether you're travelling as a couple, with friends or as a family, it's a memorable way to discover Lake Balaton beyond the summer season.

Good to Know Before You Go

Tours take place during the cooler months, when paddling is permitted under nature conservation regulations. Advance booking is required.

Dress warmly in layers and bring comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing, snacks and a hot drink. Although the water is warm, you'll be spending several hours outdoors.

Tour dates, meeting points, equipment and transfers depend on the organiser, so check the details before booking.
