Zalaszentmihaly

Zalaszentmihály sits in the low-lying Zala River basin of western Transdanubia, and its open agricultural surroundings give it the character of a small rural settlement. It is in Zala County, within the catchment of the Zala, Lake Balaton’s principal tributary; before reaching the lake, the river passes through the Kis-Balaton wetlands. The Hungarian name combines Zala with Szent Mihály, meaning Saint Michael, following a long-established Christian place-naming tradition. Fields and a network of smaller communities, rather than continuous urban development, define this part of western Hungary, while Zalaegerszeg is the county’s main city.
