Today the Bük Spa is one of the Hungarian biggest baths; its name is well-known in Europe. From the 1900s oil-searching drillings were made around Bük, and medicinal water was found. This discovery turned the village's life upside-down, but it was the result of the world-fame. Bük Spa waits for its guests all year with its 13-hectare park, 11 open-air, 11 indoor and 4 semi-covered pools and a 50 x 20 meters swimming pool.
The Bük thermal water is perfect not only for rheumatic problems as a water treatment, but it is proper for digestive problems as a water-drinking cure. In 2002 the spa's building was renewed with state support, the services were widened, so the spa is absolutely fulfils the 21st century's requirements.
