This village is not just a place on the map. Balatonhenye is a living museum that proudly preserves its rich folk architectural heritage. Here, every cobblestone, cellar and house whispers the stories of the past, far away from noises of the modern world, in a peaceful and tranquillity setting.

The village lies 8 kilometres north of Lake Balaton as the crow flies and 11 kilometres by road at the eastern foot of Mount Henye. It is bordered by Köveskál to the south, Monostorapáti to the west, Kapolcs to the north, and Monoszló to the southeast. It can be reached by road: from Lake Balaton via Route 71, turning off at Révfülöp or Zánka, then passing through Köveskál.

This area is one of the most hidden valleys of the Balaton Uplands without any cross-traffic. Even the two dead-end villages Monoszló and Balatonhenye are only directly connected by walking paths.

Burnót Creek arises at the north edge of the village and runs along the main street and passes directly in front of our house. A great place to wash and cool tired feet.
