Hévíz
The first written record of Hévíz dates back to 1328. In 1772, György Festetics built a bathing house on the lake, which is the largest medicinal lake in Europe. St. Andrew’s Rheumatism Hospital, Hungary’s largest institution for the treatment of musculoskeletal and rheumatic diseases, is located here. 38,000 litres of fresh water arrive in the lake every day from various sources. Bathing is therefore incredibly hygienic, as the total water mass of the lake is completely changed twice a week. Hévíz, with a population of 5,000, has the highest number of guest nights after Budapest. There are several hotels in the village. The small town is the perfect place to relax and unwind.
