One of the largest natural thermal lakes of Europe is located here. It is renowned all over the world for its thermal water which offers recovery from a number of locomotive disorders. The Hévízi Lake with its 50,000 m2 surface has a water discharge of 80 million litres per day, which means that the entire lake is practically refilled with new water every 28 hours. The water temperature is approximately 33-35°C in the summer, but it does not go below 22°C in winter, either, thus open-air bathing is possible even on cold days.
