Hétforrás, Natural spring site in Kőszeg Mountains, Hungary

Seven water outlets emerge from stone structures in a forest hollow, each marked with different names on stone plates near the Austrian border.

The spring construction in 1896 marked the millennial celebration of the Hungarian Conquest, serving as a water supply for the nearby Óvár Castle.

The seven outlets bear the names of Hungarian tribal leaders who led the conquest: Álmos, Előd, Ond, Kond, Tas, Huba, and Töhötöm.

Visitors can access the spring year-round without entrance fees, with a rain shelter providing protection and seating for hiking breaks.

The spring maintains a constant temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and was a restricted area during the Cold War, requiring special permits for access.
