Balaton and Heviz

Balaton

The 'Hungarian Sea' is how the 77-km long lake with silky green-yellow water in the middle of Pannonia is best-known. Lake Balaton is one of Hungary's most precious natural assets and her most frequented resort. With a water surface of 600 km2, it is the largest lake in Central Europe. Its shoreline is 195 km, its average depth is 3 m; at its deepest, at the 'well' of Tihany, it is 12.4 m, at its widest, it is 14 km. The summer water temperature of 20-26 °C is warmer than the air in the morning and in the evening. The water and the silky mud of the lake are recommended for nervous complaints, anemia and nervous fatigue. The southern shores are ideal for small children because of the shallow water. Velvety sands cover the beach from Balatonaliga through Balatonszentgyörgy. The beach is an uninterrupted line of large and small resorts with bustling life, a paradise for worshippers of sun and water.
Between Balatonakarattya and Keszthely, there are approximately 25 lakeside resorts surrounded by hills on the northern lake shore. The innumerable sights in the villages and towns away from the lake offer memorable outings on cloudy days.

Hévíz

Lying 6 km away from Keszthely and the northern shore of the lake, the 36-m deep Hévíz Lake, with a surface area of 47,500 m2, is the second largest hot-water lake in the world. 420 litres of 36 °C mildly radioactive water, rich in sulphur, gases and minerals, and with its own special circulation, gush out every second. Open-air bathing is a pleasant experience in this valley with its pleasant micro-climate, even in winter. The mud at the bottom of the lake has special properties: it is highly recommended for locomotor disorders, rheumatism, inflammations and arthritic complaints.

Covered with Indian water-lilies, the lake, the water of which tastes good and is suitable also for drinking as a water therapy, has been used for the purposes of curative bathing since 1795.
