The History of Balatonkenese<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balatonkenese is the eastern gate of the Balaton, which has been open for visitors for a thousand years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Royal hunters, fishermen, courtiers, and other royalties resided here in the Middle Ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traces of historical trials are preserved by the “dwellings” carved into the side of the Highland, which the Folk tradition calls Tartar holes. The Tartars could get through the frozen Danube in the winter of 1241-42 and burglarized every village on the way. According to the legend, that is when people carved these holes and caves into the walls so that they could find shelter in them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The holes are still accessible today. The holes were useful later on as well; grains, and fishing equipment were stored in them. For tourists in Balatonkenese, it is almost a \u201cmust\u201d to see them and they are part of the T\u00e1torj\u00e1n educational path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first golden years of Balatonkenese were during the reform age, the building of train trails, steamboating, and the presence of political and poetical elite all increased the popularity of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the second world war, Balatonkenese lived through several bombings, then progressed nicely, and it got gradually populated. At first vacationers filled it, looking for rest and relaxation, and then more and more chose to live here permanently in Balatonkenese, which got city status. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of Blatonkene\u2019s emblematic symbols is the reserved plant, the T\u00e1toj\u00e1n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the city centre, a marked (T) path leads to its habitat, the So\u00f3s-mountain, which is an approximately one-hour walk at a comfortable pace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The board marking the beginning of the educational path is located in T\u00e1ncsis Mih\u00e1ly street in front of the House of Culture. The recommended route of the educational path with many adventures is the southerner edge of the So\u00f3s mountain, followed by the caves in the walls of the highland, the Tartar holes, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

the So\u00f3s-mountain monument, where you can rest and enjoy the beauty of the view, then along the Pet\u0151fi street, Bajcsy-Zsilinszky street, and Batthy\u00e1ny street you will arrive back at the starting point of the path. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

the stops of the path are marked by boards, which educate our guests about the botanic, historic, and geographical values of the town. The educational path meets partially with the \u201cyellow lane\u201d marks starting from the train station, which also leads to the mountain top covered by T\u00e1torj\u00e1n, with a beautiful view of the Balaton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the mountain around a transmission tower, a look-out tower was built, so those who walk up can enjoy and even more beautiful view. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
