Thermal spas in Hungary: which locations to visit in winter

The best thing a person can do is to take care of themselves and their body. And even more so during the cold season. It doesn't take much, just a bold decision to leave everyday worries behind and go on vacation. Today, we're talking about places where you can not only relax and relieve stress, but also improve your health.

Heviz

It is located in the west of the country in the medieval town of Zala. It is home to the largest biologically active thermal lake in Europe. It helps with diseases of the musculoskeletal system, gastrointestinal tract, and gynecology. And the bacterial flora of the silt releases an antibiotic, so the water here is clean and safe. By the way, it is also suitable for drinking.

The region is dominated by a mild climate, so even in winter the temperature of the reservoir does not drop below 25°C.

In addition to swimming in Heviz, you can undergo a course of therapeutic procedures, such as mud, massages, inhalations, etc.

The resort also has everything you need for a comfortable stay: hotels of various levels, SPA centers, restaurants, shops and entertainment venues.

We advise you to visit the Shumezh Fortress. It is located 26 kilometers away. The fortress is considered one of the most famous medieval defense structures in Hungary. Here tourists can visit the museum of weapons.

Also visit the baroque Festetić Palace. It was built in the Baroque style in the eighteenth century. Here, travelers will see a unique library from the Second World War and a collection of antique carriages.

Zalakaros

The city is located in the south of the medie of Zala. It is considered one of the smallest in the country. The balneotherapy resort is located 150 meters above sea level. Once there were attempts to extract hydrocarbons here, but as a result of drilling, thermal water with a temperature of 96°C broke through to the surface. In 1975, an indoor bathhouse was built here. Today, there are various types of pools: therapeutic, children's, sports, with waves and hydromassage. Most people come here with diseases of the musculoskeletal system, neuralgia, and gynecology. As well as with physical and mental fatigue. We recommend going to the Buffalo reserve Zalakomár. The reserve is home to the largest herd of water buffaloes in Hungary.

Hajdúszoboszló

The resort is located in the Hajdu-Bigar med in the east of the country. In 1920, natural gas exploration began here, which resulted in the discovery of a 75°C thermal spring. Later, the Hungarospa complex with baths and the Aqua Palace was built here. By the way, the first floor of the building was built in the style of different eras and cultures. The local healing water has a positive effect on diseases of the musculoskeletal system, neuralgia, and skin. There are also outdoor and indoor swimming pools. Here, tourists can visit medical and treatment rooms and a gym. We advise you to visit the Géptár Museum of private collector Józef Modirosz. Here travelers can see vintage cars, agricultural machinery and old motorcycles.

Szeged

The town is located in the east of Hungary in the county of Csongrad. It is home to two thermal springs, Anna and Dora. Back in 1927, a well was drilled here, with water at 49°C. Two years later, it was recognized as curative. The drink has a positive effect on people with diseases of the nervous system, gynecology, and joints. There are also children's and sports pools, aromatic and steam baths, biosaunas, and a jacuzzi. Tourists can also take part in aqua fit, aerobics and gymnastics. We recommend visiting the Cathedral of Our Lady. It was built of red brick in the Neo-Romanesque style. Here, travelers will see a unique mosaic of the Virgin Mary in Hungarian national costume and Szeged shoes.
