On the hill of Visszhang in Tihany, up to the echo stone placed here, we take a big shot, hoping that the weather is favourable;And hear the sound of our voice echoing off the 300 m high Tihany Abbey! Next to the echo stone we see the statue of Miklós Tihany echo echo work.

One of the most interesting phenomena of Tihany is the echo of the h&iacute, which can be heard from the 18th century onwards, from the present day Tihany's father's house.On the Visszhang hill there is a stone pillar known only as echo stone. Legend has it that if you go up and take a big one, you can hear the sound 2 metres later;We can now hear our voice echoing off the more than 300 metres of wall space.

Next to the echo stone is one of the last sculptures by Mikl Borsos, the Tihany echo statue of a woman.The Tihanyi echo is accompanied by other legends, one of which is the statue of Miklós Borsos. According to the story, Tihany was the home of a golden goat who used to drink from the water of the lake every night;and when the people drank, he would sit on a rock and listen to the whole family with pleasure. Balaton was the lord of the manor, whose son had reached the level of the lord of the manor, with his son's voice, the voice of the few;When he found out that everyone was listening to him in the evening, he told them that he would only do it if someone paid him with money. Balaton's son was sick of not being able to hear his father's voice, and his father gave all his treasure to his father in exchange. But when the true treasures ran out, he gave them to Tihany Balaton, the daughter did not return and the son died.

According to legend, the young man was buried in Badacsony, the mountain has a coffin shape. Balaton was so upset by the lake that one evening it threw up huge waves, the goats were swept away and drowned in the lake. Tihany fled from the wrath of Balaton into a cave, and the turmoil melted the water into the river, which then trapped the water. Balaton, on the other hand, has made it clear that rich or poor, whoever gets hold of the juice must pay the price. This is why the echo of Tihany was created, and the goats' carcasses that were caught in the water are still washed ashore today, this is the goats' rally.

The echo from Tihany is unfortunately not the rér (but it is being tested!). The onépétés, high fés és és és basic noise of the installation és és és basic noise of the installation és és és és és és és; makes the reverberant sounds less powerful. In the early spring, when the trees are not in the canopy and the wind is not so strong, we experience the reverberation with greater rainfall.
