Beneath the centre of Tapolca, 30 km from Hévíz, there is a flooded cave that you explore by rowing. The visitor centre of the Balaton Uplands National Park first shows how the cave was formed and then you go down into it: 250 metres of gallery, 70 on foot and 180 by boat, which you row yourself, without a guide, over clear blue water. It is a short and very different visit.
