Car
If you are driving, start from the town of Sárospatak. Head southwest on Kossuth Lajos utca toward Rákóczi Ferenc utca. Continue straight onto Széchenyi utca and follow it for about 1 km. Then turn left onto Váci Mihály utca and continue for another 1.5 km. Follow signs for Kengyel-tó, which will lead you to a small road that takes you directly to the lake. Parking is available near the lake, but be aware that there may be a small fee for parking.
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, take a bus from Sárospatak to the nearby village of Kengyel. Check the local bus schedule for routes and times, as they may vary. Once you arrive in Kengyel, it is about a 20-minute walk to Kengyel-tó. Follow the main road and look for signs leading to the lake. Wear comfortable shoes, as the path may be uneven.
Bicycle
If you prefer cycling, rent a bicycle in Sárospatak. Head southwest on the main roads as described for car travel, but keep in mind that some roads may not have dedicated bike lanes. The route is approximately 5 km long, and you should allow about 30 minutes for the journey, depending on your cycling speed. Make sure to bring water and snacks, especially if you plan to spend time at the lake.
