Low Water in Lake Balaton, the Kékszalag Had to Be Rerouted

The low water level of Lake Balaton has recently posed a serious challenge for sailors. Therefore, the organizers decided to reroute the traditional Kékszalag route to keep the race safe for all participants. According to forecasts, the water level may continue to drop, so shallower sections would be risky for some boats.

The Kékszalag is the most famous sailing race on Lake Balaton, attracting fans of the sport from all over the country every year. Despite the modified course, the excitement of the race and the beauty of the landscape around the lake provide an unchanged experience. Participants experience the test of wind, waves and technical skill, while the Balaton community also comes together for successful execution.

It is worth participating because this event is simultaneously a sporting achievement, a tourist attraction and a celebration of local identity. Visitors can not only follow the race but also explore the settlements around Lake Balaton, the coastal programs and the hospitality of the region.

Let's meet at Lake Balaton!
