The Tihany Peninsula is Hungary's largest peninsula, projecting into Lake Balaton from its northern shore near Aszófő. Shaped by volcanic activity around 25,000 years ago, it holds two crater lakes, the Belső-tó and the Külső-tó, and more than a hundred geyser cones, the largest known as the Aranyház. In 1952 it became Hungary's first protected landscape area.
Tihany Abbey is a Benedictine monastery on the Tihany peninsula overlooking Lake Balaton, founded in 1055 by King Andrew I of Hungary. Its crypt holds his tomb, the only preserved grave of a medieval Hungarian king, and its 1055 founding charter contains the oldest surviving words written in Hungarian. The church ceiling was painted by Károly Lotz.
