Our natural treasure: The Lake of Hévíz

The lake with a surface of 10.8 acres is the largest hot-water lake of Europe with healing power, surrounded by 123.5 arces of forest. The Lake of Hévíz, besides its healing power, is quite a peculiar formation. According to contemporary data, it has a depth of 126 feet. The water of the Lake is heated by geotermic energy, its temperature results of the hot water and karst water mixing together. The water temperature in the major part of summer is around 33-35 oC, in autumn and winter, depending on weather, it is lower but does not fall below 22 oC.
