HÉVÍZ<br />

The history of Hévíz spa and the therapeutic effects of the lake were already known to the Romans, but the earliest written reference<br />

dates from 1328. The development and revival of bathing in Hévíz is linked with the name of Count György Festetics, who purposefully<br />

built up the bathing resort. Its popularly has grown so much that today several hundred thousands of tourists visit the place every<br />

year, which provides opportunity for comfortable relaxation not only for those looking for healing, but for anyone at all. Besides the<br />

baths, visits to promenades, parks, wine bars, churches and statue parks can make a trip here more colourful.<br />
