Lake Hévíz

Lake Hévíz

Immerse yourself in Europe's most spectacular natural spa—the world's largest thermal lake with healing powers. Lake Hévíz, a steaming blue-green jewel cradled by lush forests, maintains a balmy 33-36°C in summer and a still-comfortable 22-25°C in winter. Rather than swimming, visitors effortlessly float in the buoyant, mineral-rich waters, letting tension melt away as the body becomes nearly weightless. The lake completely refreshes itself every three days as underground springs continuously pump 38°C water through its mysterious depths, ensuring you're always bathing in pristine conditions. Float among purple water lilies while the lake's famous peat bottom works therapeutic wonders on your body. For seven centuries, these waters have soothed aching joints and spirits alike—come discover why emperors, aristocrats and now travelers worldwide make pilgrimages to this remarkable Hungarian wellness treasure.
