The Lavender House Visitor Centre – the Eastern gate of the Bakony–Balaton Geopark – presents Tihany Peninsula in a way that provides special entertainment for young and old alike. It also serves as the visitor centre of the European Diploma Awarded Volcanic Area of Tihany. The once raging fire of the volcanoes and the harmony of the landscape that was shaped as a result of it is interpreted in the visitor centre by a short, spectacular film (also available in Englsih) and by an interactive exhibition (with English interpretive boards). We will show you the centuries-long co-existence of people and nature along with the embelmatic culture that developed from it: lavender production.
The area of Bakony–Balaton Geopark includes this exhibition site and its surroundings as well.
