The train in the pedestrian area

Wander around the small town centre of Heviz and you will find a pedestrian area full of shops selling clothes, swim wear and touristy things as well as cafés and a market in a side street. On the way to the small market I came across this steam engine and some signals!!

We stopped at Kalocsa and visited the paprika museum and explored the town. Interesting place and they serve the best cake at the hotel opposite the church

The lookout tower at Lake Balaton with the bat "homes" on the side. I was not too happy about that one, don't quite like the little creatures.

HEVIZ CHURCH

 Beautiful, peaceful and relaxing spa. The town itself looks like toytown and looking around you, you'd think you were in Germany not Hungary!
