Press-houses on the hill - sailing boats

Submitted by cgs on Fri, 09/18/2009 at 12:28pm.

Here is in Hungary the Balaton lake with his sweet-water of 27° Celsius in Summer. On the northern side of lake there are Zanka and Balatonakali summer resorts. Between the villages there is a pioneer city. There was in every Summer a great chess competition in the 1970-1980 years. There were a lot of participants – 600-800 person – from the pioneer to grandmaster. These were team competitions. Today happens it with a little number of teams in early September. These photos i made in the hill behind Balatonakali where are press-houses in the vineyard. On the lake there is a sailing-boat race in every year in early July. One photo made from the window of my press-house about the field of race. This is the longest sailing boat race in Europe on lake. There were 612 sailing boats in this year. They were running 160-170 km.
