1 European Beach Handball Tour Finals (season of 2014) May 2015 in Budaörs, Hungary

2 Budaörs, Hungary Budaörs is situated at the southern dolomite edge of the picturesque Buda Hills, at the foot of the protected Budaörsi-kopárok. The town is 760 years old and has 30,000 inhabitants. Many families still have German ancestors and there is still a small percentage of German residents, as German families settled there several times during the history of Budaörs. Budapest, the Hungarian capital is only 11 km away offering a wide range of cultural and leisure activities to all age groups. Budaörs is a small, but precious jewel box next to the capital where teeming life meets small-town milieu. The main sights of Budapest: Parliament, Buda Castle, Fisherman s Bastion (Halászbástya), Heroes Square, Citadella, Budapest Zoo, Libego. The main sights of Budaörs: The City Hall, Budaörs Városi Uszoda Sportcsarnok és Strand, Jakab Bleyer Museum of Local History, Ko-hegy and the Kohegy Chapel, Kálvária hill, Kamaraerdo. Budaörs Indoor and Open-air Swimming Pool and Sports Hall A long-term dream of the people of Budaörs came true in Spring 2010, when the sports complex was opened. The sports hall is capable of serving the indoor sport needs of the nearby region, offering a perfect venue for local, national or even for international competitions. Over a thousand people can enjoy the sport competitions or the events taking place on the 90m 2 stage from the auditorium. Attached to the sports hall there are two open-air swimming pools and an extensive sandy sports field. The former is used by sun-seekers on the warmest summer days, while the latter provides home to various sport events, for example to beach handball competitions. Budaörs aims at having the Budaörs Indoor and Open-air Swimming Pool and Sports Hall recognised by its visitors and thus ultimately becoming the essential centre of sports and leisure activities in the region.
