Miskolctapolca - Cave Bath
Only two hours away from the Széchenyi and Gellért baths in Budapest, there's another impressive bath worth visiting in Miskolctapolca which is a suburb of Miskolc, the third largest city in Hungary with a surprise attraction for spa-seekers. The cave bath of Miskolctapolca is regarded as a curiosity not only in Hungary but also in the whole of Europe, mainly due to the unique natural setting, which can be boldly said to be beautiful and breathtaking, on the other hand, due to the water found here. There is no other thermal bath in Europe that has such a high temperature in the karst, what is more, its salt content doesn’t reach even 1000 milligrams/ liter, so guests can stay in that for an unlimited period of time. There are 6 different pools throughout the cave that are back-lit and connected by bridges and tunnels. Outside the cave, 6 more adventure pools welcome the visitors who can also make their day as luxurious as they want with an on-site massage, sauna and even float spa options.
Hévíz - Lake Bath
Lake Hévíz is located in Hévíz, near the western end of Lake Balaton, only 8 kilometres from Keszthely. It is the largest thermal lake in the world which is available for swimming. Lake Echo of New Zealand is larger and its water is warmer, but it cannot be compared to the particularities of the Hungarian lake as it is not suitable for bathing and cannot be used for medical purposes. The source of the 4.4 hectare water surface lake, rich in sulphur, and minerals can be found 38 metres deep in the cave, which due to its high well capacity completely changes in every 72 hours. Its tempereature is 34-36 °C in summer and 24-28 °C in winter, so guests can enjoy its goodness in every season. The water of Lake Hévíz contains an equal proportion of dissolved and gaseous substances, thus unifying the favourable characteristics of thermal waters rich in carbonic acid, sulphur, calcium, magnesium, hydrogen carbonate. The water is beneficial to patients suffering from rheumatic diseases and locomotor disorders, among others.
