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.

Historical reference

Ten kilometers from Lake Heviz is the world's largest thermal lake Balaton. It is believed that the local reservoirs appeared during the displacement of the earth's crust and the formation basalt mountains 22 thousand years ago. Since then, their waters have been heated by the energy of the Earth. Lake Heviz is located in a crater-shaped depression and has the shape of a funnel with a depth of 37 meters and an area of ​​47 thousand square meters. meters.

Although the first mention of these places are found in the sources of the XIII century, archaeologists believe that in stone ages people lived on the shore of the lake and knew about its healing properties.

In 1795, Count Festetics built the first wooden buildings for bathers on the shore of the lake and began to spread knowledge about the healing waters among people. Gradually, the resort expanded, a therapeutic base was created, and the number of visitors increased. In the 50s of the last century, the first sanatorium was built here, and by the 90s the resort acquired the status of a city. In 2003, the lake was included in the list World Heritage UNESCO, today major medical conferences and congresses are held here.

There is a legend of origin healing lake. By will of the Blessed Virgin broke out of the ground healing spring, whose mud and warm waters cured the weak body of the child from ailments. That child was a Roman emperor.

The water in the lake does not cool down in winter, and the sanatoriums of Heviz are open all year round. In autumn, winter and spring, wonderful foggy milk gently spills over the lake. In spring and summer, the resort city blooms and is filled with charming aromas, the lake blooms with beautiful lotuses, and by the end of summer - water lilies specially brought from India.

The special healing microclimate of the resort is created by the evaporation of thermal water and forest protection.

Lake Heviz is fed by two thermal springs with water temperatures of +42 and +38ºС, and one mineral spring with a temperature of + 17ºС. Their waters break near the surface into slowly rotating radial jets. The water is mixed and flows through the channels into Lake Balaton. So natural laws ensure the uniform distribution of nutrients in the lake and its complete renewal in 28 hours.

Treatment in the sanatoriums of Heviz is based on healing power water and mud of plant origin, mutually enriching each other. Silt lies at the bottom of the lake in a multi-meter layer.

Water and mud are saturated with valuable natural gases, trace elements and mineral salts.
