Programs near to the location
For us, the organisation of the Eurocup and the Hungarian Championship 2020 is not simply a closed event. We would like more people to see the races, more people to try sailing. But the intention is not just one way! It is important for us to give the competitors and their companions, the families, a full picture of the programs in Tihany and the surrounding area.
It was particularly important for us to have a professional partner, Magic Mice ZRt., who promised us to inform us about the final programs and events in the neighbourhood. This is to ensure that our RS Feva RS500, RS Aero competitions are not just about sailing, but also a cultural, entertaining experience for participants and their supporters.
PROGRAMS:
- Tihanyi summertime in the main squer 04.08-08.22 2020
- Kékszalag the Europe’s largest lake competition 07.02-07.04 2020

ATTRACTIONS IN TIHANY
Remetetelep
In the eastern slope of Óvár, Greek Orthodox hermits hollowed out their cells, a chapel and a dining room from the rocks in the 11 th -14 th century. This is the only hermits’ place which is a relatively well-preserved in the Carpathian Basin and even in Central Europe. Its local name is Barátlakások (Friar habitations). Not far from here, you can find the Ciprián spring, previously called Russian fountain, which is the only spring of Tihany.

The church building and its neighbourhood
King Andrew I. founded a monasetry and a royal burial-place in Tihany in 1055, in accordance with the tradition of Christian monarchs. Monastery life ceased in the middle of the fifteen hundreds when the building was transformed into a fortress against the Turks, who never occupied it. The fortress, of which no detailed plans have remained, was demolished in the Kuruts times in the 17 th century. The walking way between the Echo hill and the church is named after Castellan István Pisky. The Pannonhalma Arch-Abbacy got hold of the monastery and the property of the Tihany Abbey in 1716. The present buildings were completed in 1754. From Piski walking way, there is nice view on the most beautiful harbour of Balaton and the mole built according to the design of Dezsõ Nagy Káli between 1909 and 1911.
