If you want to build endurance, running around Lake Pécs is an ideal distance in a beautiful setting. Fortunately, more than half of the route is on a promenade developed for pedestrians. It can be combined with vacation or relaxing by the shore, as one end of the lake has a free beach and the other end has the Aquapark and campsite. Even if you come for just one afternoon, there will be plenty of time to breathe in the fresh air of the Mecsek and enjoy the mountain atmosphere.
Author’s recommendation
We can stop at the Orfű free beach and take a dip in the lake, or ask for a refreshment during the season.
