Place in Veszprém, Hungary
Balatonrendes (Hungarian pronunciation: Veszprém county,
Hungary. It is one of the least populated locales on the northern shore of
Lake Balaton, having lost much of its population over the course of the 20th century due to
urbanization. One of the last permanent sources of work in the village, a local
quarry, closed in the latter part of the 1900s. As with almost all townships near the Balaton, in the summer months it attracts vacationers, but due to its distance from the lake shore proper and its more elusive location, traffic is lower than average. Significant
viticulture, due to the proximity of the
Badacsony wine region, is present. Notably, its main street has been renovated and stands as a picturesque remnant of old-style rural
Hungarian architecture. The etymology of the village's name comes from the combination of Balaton with the suffix -rendes, which translates to "orderly" or "normal".
