Hévíz is home to the world’s largest natural, biologically active thermal lake, which is suitable for bathing all year round. Its water comes from an abundant thermal spring with a temperature of over 23°C. It contains sulphur, carbon dioxide, calcium, magnesium, hydrogen carbonate and small amounts of radon. The water is used to treat rheumatic and mobility problems, as well as stomach and digestive complaints. The lake’s constant currents act like a massage on bathers, helping to improve circulation and mobility. In winter, dense vapour forms on the surface of the lake, with a beneficial effect on strained vocal cords and breathing. Mud settles on the lake bed in a layer up to 7 m thick. It can help ease musculoskeletal pain and stimulate the metabolism. The lake’s volcanic origins mean that its water contains various dissolved minerals. Combined with mild radioactive radiation and bioactive therapeutic mud, these create a strongly soothing effect for chronic pain.

Lake Balaton is just a few kilometres away, with its charming towns, pleasant beaches and scenic cycle paths. The surrounding area is ideal for cycling and walking. Budapest is well worth a visit.
