Dear Reader!
The world has many and varied beautiful wonders created by nature. Such is the unique beauty of Vonyarcvashegy and its surroundings, where visitors are greeted by the immense waters of Lake Balaton, the Keszthelyi Mountains - which surround our village in a sheltering manner - with its vineyards and shady cellars, its wines with their unique flavours, its five-star Lido beach, which has been awarded the distinction of the most best and sportiest beach on Lake Balaton several times, its Calvary path on top of Csándor Hill and, at the end, its 7.38-metre-high Cross of Light, consecrated in 2010. The former hill island rising from Lake Balaton, the 136-metre-high St. Michael's Hill.
It has a centuries-old St. Michael's Vow Fishing Chapel on its roof, commemorating the rescue of 40 ice-fishermen, the only fishing chapel in Hungary and even in the landlocked countries. This sacred place, with its beautiful location and romantic atmosphere, is a magnet for visitors. The chapel, with its centuries-old history, has become a symbol of Vonyarcvashegy.
Use this page as a guide that carries:
- the joy of rediscovering the past,
- On the other hand, it should serve as a vision of how our town is discovering and creating its own values, investments, cultural and tourist life.
We are launching our site with the aim of virtually roaming and presenting one of the pearls of the Western Basin of Lake Balaton, from the past... through human destinies... to the present day, mediated by preserved values.
To know and live these experiences you have to come here!
We wish you an unforgettable experience!
Welcome to the official website of the municipality of Vonyarcvashegy!
As mayor of the municipality, it is my honor to welcome all visitors on behalf of our local government.
In addition to presenting our existing values and traditions, we strive to provide up-to-date and reliable information to local residents and our interested guests.
In my view, a mayor is not given power, but rather the opportunity to serve the community for the common good, fulfilling the mayor's oath of office. For me, Vonyarcvashegy is not just a geographical name, but a human community. We must bring to the fore and exploit the knowledge, diligence, talent, and goodwill that lie within us, whether it be theoretical or physical knowledge, or perhaps experiential or relational capital!
The essence is knowledge sharing!
Nowadays, people are becoming increasingly distant from one another. In order to find each other again and live our daily lives as a community, we need common goals and common activities!
People should not be divided, but brought together to create harmony, unity, and security!
Human values must be brought to the fore!
I wish for us to have common values, common interests, and common experiences!
Behind us is the forest, before us is the water!
100% Vonyarcvashegy
