Hévíz, Thermal spa town in Zala County, Hungary

Lake Hévíz spans across 4.4 hectares with water temperatures reaching 37°C in summer and remaining above 24°C during winter months.

The Romans established the first thermal baths in this location during the second century, marking the beginning of organized bathing activities.

The Festetics family transformed Hévíz into a medical center in the 18th century by conducting research on the therapeutic properties of thermal waters.

The Sármellék International Airport, located 8 kilometers from Hévíz, connects the town with multiple European destinations throughout the year.

The thermal lake contains radioactive minerals and maintains biological activity through natural processes, making it unlike any other water body in Europe.
