Hévíz Springcave, Natural cave at thermal lake in Hévíz, Hungary.

The Hévíz Springcave forms the source point of thermal waters flowing into Lake Hévíz, reaching depths of 38 meters beneath the surface.

Archaeological findings near the cave include Roman coins, earthenware, and a Jupiter altar stone, indicating human presence dating back to the 1st century.

The spring cave contributes to the thermal waters that have attracted people seeking natural remedies for rheumatic conditions since Roman times.

Water temperatures from the spring cave maintain the lake at 24°C in winter and 37°C in summer, making it suitable for year-round swimming.

Scientific analysis reveals that cold water emerging from the spring is 8,000 years old, while the hot medicinal water dates back 12,000 years.
