Lake Balaton, Hungary. Heviz

So far we looked at Siófok on the southern side of the Balaton, and yesterday we looked at Balatonfüred. But today we are changing tempo once again and looking at a completely different part of the lake as well as a place with a very different focus. But don’t worry it still a completely wonderful place with an amazing vibe!

Heviz

Situated on the northern side of the lake down at the end near Keszthely, Heviz is a spa town with its very own thermal lake – the largest in Europe and second largest in the world no less!

This lake, with its unique peat bed, is supplied with water coming from hot springs that produce 35 million litres of mineral rich healing water every day! The water is not only warm, but also constantly circulates the lake to provide a special massaging effect on the human body.

As a matter of fact the water is so healing that people have been coming here for centuries. As such the town has developed into a sort of centre of ‘wellness’ excellence. A place to come to make yourself feel healthier if you like.

So as you might expect there are lots of hotels, treatment centres, health shops as well as the typical bars, restaurants, tourist attractions etc that you would expect to find in a popular spa town. It also has excellent hiking and bike trails, wine cellars and churches.

In a nutshell, Heviz is the perfect place to visit if you need a vitality boost for your mind, body and soul – and lets face it who doesn’t need that from time to time?
