Nestled in the heart of Hungary, Hévíz is a treasure trove of natural healing elements that work in harmony to promote health and well-being. Imagine these elements as tiny particles interlocking to form an integrated whole—this whole can simply be referred to as health. Each element possesses its own healing properties, but together, they enhance the effectiveness of healing, rehabilitation, and health preservation.
The Essence of Thermal Bathing
At the core of Hévíz’s healing offerings is the thermal lake, where bathing becomes a transformative experience. The gentle caress of the warm water, the sensation of floating, the sight of lotus flowers bobbing on the surface, and the soothing aroma of the healing waters all contribute to a calming effect on the nervous system. This environment fosters a psychological sense of healing that is truly unique.
Experiencing the sensation of tiny water droplets massaging your body is unparalleled anywhere in the world. The medicinal lake of Hévíz not only provides the joy of bathing but also serves as the foundation for traditional medical treatments and wellness therapies.
A Comprehensive Approach to Healing
The bath treatment is fundamental to the healing effects of Lake Hévíz. However, it’s essential to highlight the unique medical treatments available, such as mud packs, the renowned weight bath, various types of medical massages, and drinking cures. These treatments work synergistically to enhance the overall healing experience.
In addition to healing, Hévíz offers a variety of facilities aimed at maintaining an active physical condition, strengthening mental fitness, and finding peace and soul harmony—even if just for a few days. Active programs like Nordic walking, bike tours, and leisurely strolls around the town or the lake, as well as trips to local wine cellars, all contribute to strengthening both body and spirit.
Embrace the Unique Atmosphere
For some, the right healing power lies in the treatments and activities mentioned above, while others may prefer to spend a few days—or even longer—in this enchanting environment, doing nothing but enjoying their holiday. The unique atmosphere of this charming town invites visitors to savor the delicious specialties characteristic of the Zala region and indulge in the exquisite flavors of Hévíz wines, all in the company of friends. This experience is sure to create unforgettable memories.
As we all know, delicious food and a glass of fine wine are just as vital to life as health itself!
The Hévíz Health Treatments
Hotel Europa Fit**** offer a range of health treatments that harness the natural healing properties of the area. The wells drilled near Hévíz—one of which supplies the hotel—provide a similar mixed water to that of the lake, albeit with a different mixture ratio. The temperature of these wells ranges from 39-42 °C, and they contain significantly more sulfur than the lake, measuring 5-6 mg/l. We ensure that the thermal water in our hotel is changed daily to maintain its therapeutic qualities.
