Hévíz Thermal Lake is a thermal spring located in Hévíz, Zala County, Hungary, approximately 8 kilometres from the city of Keszthely. The lake's water type is sulfur, but its temperature is currently unknown as this information is not provided by the available sources. The Hévízi Tófürdő, or Hévíz Lake Bath, is a popular destination, with information about it available on the website of the Hévízi Szent András Reumakórház és Gyógyfürdő.
Insider tip — Hévíz is the world's largest natural bathing lake, where you swim in open water between 28 and 38 °C surrounded by giant water lilies. Floating rings are available on-site. The spring at the bottom refreshes the entire lake roughly every 72 hours, and winter bathing under rising steam makes for a truly rare experience.
