Heviz is a city in Southeastern Hungary that is famous for its lake of thermal healing waters, the biggest in the world of its type.
The healing properties come from the mud of its volcanic bed. The water has an average temperature of 34 degrees centigrade and visitors can take the waters all year.
The lake and the woods around it are part of a beautiful nature reserve. You can stay at affordable hotels, guesthouses and even luxury resorts where you will have all manner of healing therapies available to you. The therapies are overseen by doctors and experts in this area.
You will also find a busy cultural calendar in the city, including events at art galleries, museums, libraries and cinemas. There is also a good shopping centre and busy pedestrian streets. Visit the Church of Heviz.
We recommend a visit to the 13th century chapel in the Egregy district and a tour of the local vineyards.
The castles, palaces and museums of Keszthely are just eight kilometres away, making an ideal day trip.
Leave your daily routine behind and come to Heviz for a dose of health and vitality!
