HÉVÍZ<br />

T<br />

he history of Hévíz spa and the<br />

therapeutic effects of the lake<br />

were already known to the Romans,<br />

but the earliest written reference<br />

dates from 1328. The development<br />

and revival of bathing in Hévíz<br />

is linked with the name of Count<br />

György Festetics, who purposefully<br />

built up the bathing resort. Its<br />

popularly has grown so much that<br />

today several hundred thousands of<br />

tourists visit the place every year,<br />

which provides opportunity for<br />

comfortable relaxation not only for<br />

those looking for healing, but for<br />

anyone at all. Besides the baths, visits<br />

to promenades, parks, wine bars,<br />

churches and statue parks can make<br />

a trip here more colourful.<br />
