Zala County is in the South-Western Hungary. This is the Western extreme of Lake Balaton and the border with Croatia and Slovenia. The formal capital is Zalaegerszeg and the main town of it is actually Keszthely. It is one of the smallest counties in Hungary and one of the most sparsely populated. The villages are small and the views to the lake great from the hills of the Uplands of Balaton.

Zala is perfect for beaching at the lake; enjoy good food and friendly vibe. The visitor can enjoy one of the best natural thermal lakes in the country in Héviz as well as beautiful natural landscapes in Kis-Balaton Lake. The county is splashed with cute little churches and chapels hidden in small villages always with plenty of vineyards around. In addition, and as a final asset, Szigliget is one of the most impressive historic castles in all the country!

We are focusing on ideas from local sources, giving tips that are usually unknown for travelers and foreigners, guides to secret places which only the guy from the given neighborhood could know about, to the hidden picturesque view, with recommending everything besides the obvious: the local real feel, the adventure of discovering the unknown, the authenticity, culinary guide to the meals that locals are really cooking and eating at home, and much more. Hope you will read our Zala Travel Stories, feel inspired, and enjoy the journey, as much as we do!
