匈牙利冷知識：沒有海的海濱度假勝地
匈牙利是個內陸國家，沒有海，但卻流行“海濱度假”。
這是因爲匈牙利擁有中歐最大的湖——巴拉頓湖 Lake Balaton
這個湖也被稱爲“匈牙利海”，全國各地的人和外國遊客都喜歡來這裏度假。
It's an unlikely place for a beach holiday. Yes, Hungary is landlocked. However, at almost 600 square kilometres, Lake Balaton is the largest lake in Central Europe – so big, in fact, that it's often referred to as the Hungarian Sea, and sunseekers have flocked to its shores for decades. The nearby sulphuric waters of Heviz, meanwhile, are said to have medicinal qualities, and are believed to cure rheumatic ailments, aches and pains.
這是一個適合進行海濱度假的地方，這聽起來不可思議。沒錯，匈牙利是一個內陸國家。然而，佔地近600平方公里的巴拉頓湖是中歐最大的湖泊。事實上，巴拉頓湖那麼大以至於經常被稱爲“匈牙利海”，幾十年裏，慕名而來的遊客絡繹不絕。與此同時，附近的赫維茲硫磺水據說有藥用價值，可以治療風溼病和各種病痛。
