Hévíz Tófürdő Hungary

Hévíz Tófürdő, in the spa town of Hévíz on the western shore of Lake Balaton in Zala county, Hungary, is one of the world's most extraordinary natural thermal phenomena — a lake fed by a volcanic thermal spring rising from 38 metres below the surface at a constant 38°C, creating the world's largest naturally warm biologically active lake, where bathers can swim year-round in open water surrounded by Nymphaea lotus thermalis water lilies even in the depths of Hungarian winter. The sulphurous mineral waters of Hévíz have been enjoyed for centuries for their soothing quality, appreciated for joint and muscular comfort and the deeply restorative sensation of bathing in this unique natural thermal lake. The proximity of the historic Festetics Palace in Keszthely makes Hévíz one of Central Europe's most exceptional natural thermal destinations.
