Secrets of Lake Heviz

The secret of its popularity is the healing properties of thermal waters saturated with gases and minerals, as well as unique bottom mud containing iodine, estrogens and minerals. The surface of the lake is decorated with pink and lilac lilies, which have become a symbol of Heviz since the first Indian water lily was brought here in 1898.

Heviz is the largest warm-water lake of volcanic origin in Hungary and throughout Europe, covering an area of ​​47.5 sq.m. The most deep point- 38 meters. Water is completely renewed within 3.5 days, its temperature even in winter does not fall below 24-26 ˚С. The waters of Hévíz are fed from ten healing springs located in the cave below the lake: 8 cold (17 ˚С) and 2 hot (40 ˚С).

This process helps to maintain the saturation of water with healing substances and a temperature comfortable for swimming all year round. The healing effect of recreation on Lake Hévíz enhances the favorable microclimate, which is formed due to the combination of intense vaporization above the water surface and the ozone-rich air of the surrounding forest.

In 1906, the clinic was headed by a specialist in balneological treatment, Dr. Schulhof Vilmos. In 1911, he opened two modern departments in Heviz - Zander and Roentgen, where he received patients who needed correction of the musculoskeletal system. On the basis of the clinic, treatment was carried out using gymnastics, electrotherapy, X-ray and laboratory studies were carried out. Later, Vilmos was joined by his younger brother, Dr. Schulhof Edön, who specializes in physical therapy and radiology.

The success of doctors ensured the development of the system of medical care and the use of medicinal water lakes for the health care of residents and guests of Hungary.
