Thermal Lake of Heviz

The lake of Hévíz is the biggest biologically active, natural medicinal water in the world. Its temperature is affected by the combination of cold and hot spring waters coming from underground. The medicinal water breaks out from the spring cave on the surface at the rate of approx. 410 litres per second and with a temperature of 40°C. According to that delivery, the water in the lake changes every three and a half days and keeps uniformly clean.

This place is gorgeous! We loved every second of our time there. For English speakers, it can be a bit confusing so here are my tips: 1. Get there by 10 to ensure a beautiful spot that is right next to the water. 2. Go the right as you enter because that is where it is less crowded and where the jacuzzis are 3. Bring snacks if you are there a long time, though they do have a lovely restaurant 4. Bring your own floatie or rent one for 1000ft deposit 600ft fee 5. Add the “wellness” package. It’s the jacuzzis and saunas and you won’t want to miss those. 6. Stay at least four hours! 7. Bring your own towel 8. ENJOY!!!

Balaton Museum

Our museum was established in order to raise the cult of Lake Balaton. Ever since our goals have remained the same, yet modern: we research and publicize the “Hungarian sea” by collecting, preserving, processing and presenting the natural values of Lake Balaton. We do not want to tell everything about Balaton, but we would like to show the major characteristics through which the lake and its history can be known. Our museum provides a comprehensive and public context in order to understand the environmental and social changes of the Balaton region. Our permanent exhibition recalls the history of the lake through eleven rooms. Our historical, archeological, ethnographic and natural history collections consist of 380. 000 items.

Peace Temple

Reviewed By OZS_ATW - Budapest, Hungary

The Zalaszántó Stupa is one of the largest such facilities in Europe. The sanctuary was built in 1992 on the Kovácsi hill near Zalaszántó, in the middle of a forest. The snow-white structure is 30 m high and 24 m wide. You can't even get inside the sanctuary. The stupa looks really nice and the surrounding area is very peaceful. The road is in a very bad condition. Worth visiting!

Roman Ruin Garden

Reviewed By bananablossom17 - Riga, Latvia

This park was near the place we stayed in and we liked it a lot! The fawn statue was very cute! And the dog statue was nice as well. Also there's a special track for walking barefoot, playground, botanical garden and even a bridge to hang ribbons with written wishes. Very beautiful.
