Balatonfured is a popular resort town on the bank of Lake Balaton in Hungary. Visitors come to enjoy the mild micro-climate, beautiful scenery, the local wine, sailing and swimming facilities, as well as to revive the two-century-old tradition of socializing around spas, bathing and vacationing.
In 1972, the 1st Europhysics Conference on Neutrinos (Neutrino'72) was held in this town, gathering several major physicists among whom Richard Feynman. A memorial tree was planted for that occasion by Feynman in the Tagore Promenade, which is still standing today among many other trees by famous poets, politicians and scientists.
