Hévíz (Hungary)
The history of Hévíz goes back to ancient times, Romans, Huns, Goths and Avars all left their traces here over the centuries. The people living here were melted into the conquering Magyars. The first written memory dates back to 1328. The area inhibited in the Middle Ages was destroyed by the Turks and two hundred years later became the possession of the Festetics family, who founded a bath estate nest to the lake. The estate that was primarily used by the local farmers soon became known to a lot of people and visitors started arriving from more and more distant places. Vencel Reischl, Keszthely-based brewer hired the bath from the Festetics family in 1905. He soon acquired national reputation for the bath as well as introducing remarkable developments after 1920, when the country’s significant bath places were separated from Hungary.
The Thermal Lake of Hévíz is the world’s largest biologically active natural thermal lake. It is located in a unique setting, a mere 6 km from the Lake Balaton, 198 km from Vienna and 193 km from Budapest.
The lake’s formation goes back to ancient times. At the end of the Pannon-era (named after its sea), volcanoes broke up the layout of the Trans-Danube region. The first signs of volcanic activity were the heat sources, as was the eruption of Ancient ‘hévíz’ (i.e. ‘hot water/source’). Two systems of dikes were formed by the movement of the Earth crust in which precipitation was collected. This is how Lake Balaton was formed 22 thousand years ago, the time that marked the beginning of the Hévíz thermal lake’s history. The heat coming from the deeper layers of the Earth crust heats the waters locked inside the underground deposits, which means that the lake is also heated by geometric energies.
The 4,4 ha water surface lake's source rich in minerals can be found 38 m deep in the cave, where tens of thousands of years old warm and cool karst waters are mixed.
The lake’s exact depth did not use to be known, but authentic data shows that it is 38.5 m deep. Hévíz bathers have experienced that the water’s depth varies between 150 and 200 cm. You can stand up around the edges and sink thigh-deep into the softened and healing turf mud .
The 3,8 ha lake Echo of New Zealand is second largest after Hévíz in terms of size, however it is unsuitable for bathing due to its water temperature (50-55 C).
