Insider tip — Egerszalok is famous for its remarkable travertine mound formed over decades by calcium-rich thermal water cascading down a hillside and depositing mineral terraces resembling a miniature Pamukkale. The spa complex built around this natural spectacle uses water at 68 degrees Celsius cooled to bathing temperatures, and the terraced deposits continue to grow visibly each year. The medieval wine town of Eger with its Ottoman-era thermal history is only 8 kilometres away.
