Szent István Gyógyvizű Fürdő is located in Kunhegyes, Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok county, Hungary. This sodium-chloride thermal water, at 38°C, fills thermal pools, medical baths and a sauna.
Insider tip — Kunhegyes is in the heart of the Hungarian Alföld (Great Plain) — the vast puszta steppe that once rang with the hooves of Magyar horsemen. 'Szent István Gyógyvizű Fürdő' (Saint Stephen Mineral Water Spa) honors Hungary's first king Stephen I (1000–1038 AD), who Christianized the Magyar people and is still venerated as the founder of the Hungarian state. The Great Plain's artesian thermal wells provide the natural waters; the surrounding region of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok preserves the culture of Cumanian (Kun) nomadic descendants.
