Actually, it is not an independent village; it belongs to Balatonudvari, although the two places haven’t grown together. A tree lined lane, now part of the cycle path running around the lake, leads from one to the other. Fövenyes is easily accessible with train, car and long-distance bus as well.

The site was extended in 2002, since than the Andrássy Avenue and its historical environment – including the Heroes Square – also belong to the preserved area.
