The southern shore of Lake Balaton is almost entirely built up, with an endless procession of strand - the generic term for any kind of bathing place. Hungarians call these beaches , though they are in fact grassy sunbathing areas with concrete embankments along the shoreline. While the discerning head for Balatonvilagos , the masses plump for Siofok , which has no peers when it comes to partying, although other resorts, such as Fonyod , try hard to imitate. In Balatonszarszo and Balatonszemes , you can even find a touch of history, while the South Balaton wine route covers the region around the villages of Balatonlelle, Balatonboglar and Kishegy , which are also notable for their festivals. Nature only reasserts itself at the western end of the lake, where the River Zala flows through the reeds into the Kis-Balaton (Little Balaton) - the location for a bird and bison reserve. All the resorts along the southern shore are accessible by train from Budapest or Szekesfehervar.
