cím: Beaches, spas, lake shores at the western end of Lake Balaton!

lead: The real summer arrived on June 1. There were places where the thermometers already showed 30°C on the first day of summer and many people were already bathing in Lake Balaton, despite the fact that spring was not very kind to us, so the heat arrived quite late. So it's time to give you an overview of where and how much you can swim in the Hévíz area this summer after the adventure parks.

tartalom: + 1 The great advantage of this article is that it shows on a map which beach is where, and what is worth knowing about it, and you can even find pictures! If you are also interested in the prices, scroll down a little towards the end of the article! A black poi indicates the Hévíz Tófürdő and beach Red dots show the classic beaches on the Balaton shore In the place of burgundy pois, there are adventure parks and adventure baths The blue pois are lakes where you can't swim, but you can fish instead :) Let's see which are the classic beaches next to Lake Balaton. There are roughly 7+2 beaches near Hévíz that are very popular among guests. Keszthely City Beach | Keszthely Libás Beach | Alsógyenes Lidó Beach | Gyenesdiás Play Beach | Vonyarcvashegyi Lido Beach | Balatongyörök Beach | Balatonberény Beach + Dog Beach in Keszthely and Naturist Beach in Balatonberény   It is typical of the above beaches that you can go for a walk or even take a bath outside of the high season. You can use the playgrounds and sports fields, but the buffets and restrooms are only open during the beach season. In the late spring period, you should expect that renovations, weeding, flower planting, and toys are being renovated, but by the beginning of June, almost all beaches can be visited. There are entrance tickets, where they start collecting from June 1, and where they start collecting from the beginning of the school holidays. The opening hours - as long as you have to buy a full price ticket - are usually between 8:00 and 18:00, but in many places you can buy an evening swimming ticket before closing, which is cheaper and usually after 6 or 7, entry is free. Most beaches have student and pensioner discounts, family tickets or weekly passes can also be purchased. In terms of accessibility, a common feature of the beaches in the area is that they are easy to find. By bicycle, the cash desks are almost within reach of the Balaton bicycle path, and by car, of course, you can park for free next to every beach. Moreover, with the exception of the dog beach and the Libás beach, all other beaches are close to the local train station, so if you can, you can even go by train.   Lake Hévíz, as a uniqueness, is a spa, lake spa and beach spa all in one Unique in the world, Lake Hévíz combines thermal spas and beach spas in such a way that none of them really exist. Due to its uniqueness, you can bathe in the natural thermal spring all year round, and thanks to the covered parts, you can enjoy the experience of warm water even in pouring rain or snow. Depending on the weather, in the spring, usually in May, the beach area opens even earlier, where you can enjoy the pleasures of water around 30°C or even warmer before the Balaton beach season. The children's pools are only filled in mid-June, as they have heated normal water. From the point of view that you can swim in a real, natural, warm water lake and relax and sunbathe on its shore, it is more like a beach, but based on the services, opening hours and prices based on medicinal water, it can be classified more like a thermal spa. You definitely have to try it once, because it is really unique and special, completely different from all the usual beaches and adventure pools! Adventure baths and slide park Near Hévíz, we have to write about 3 major thermal and adventure baths and a slide park. Closer to Hévíz is the Kehida Thermal Bath in Kehidakustány, many people also visit the Karos Spa complex in Zalakaros, and Zalaszentgrót also has a thermal and adventure bath. Perhaps a little further, in Zalaegerszeg there is an Aquacity and slide park. The common feature of the first three thermal spas is that their indoor pools are open all year round, but in the summer season they also open their outdoor beach with adventure park, slides and a large green surface to the public. These baths, although they cannot be called classic beaches, can be visited regardless of the weather, since even if we cannot use the outdoor experiences, the indoor pools are still open. Another important feature they have in common is that they have pools with medicinal water and heated normal water pools. Aquacity, located next to the last-mentioned Zalaegerszeg, only operates in the summer, during the school holidays. It does not have an indoor bath, only outdoor pools and numerous slides, among which all ages can find their favorite. At the same time, just like the Balaton beaches, this adventure bath is only visited in nice, summer weather. The ticket prices of the spas and beaches do not reflect the quality of the services! On the slightly more expensive beaches, the extra program options and extra experience elements provide the basis for a higher price category, while the slightly cheaper beaches are typically smaller, more family-friendly, and offer fewer but equally high-quality services. In addition, all the classic beaches listed here (except for dogs and naturists) have Blue Wave certification and are multiple category winners (child-friendly beach, sporty beach, green beach). The different types of ticket prices mean that entrance tickets to most beaches in the pre-summer season, in June, are cheaper than in July and August.

cím: A Health Coach Against Burnout

lead: Do you wake up before your alarm because your mind is already racing through the day’s tasks? By 2 p.m., do you feel like you’ve already worked two full shifts? In the evening, slumped on the couch, do you find yourself wondering: Is this really what life is supposed to be?

tartalom: + 1 Stress is part of life. There’s the good kind—the one that motivates, energizes, and moves us forward. But then there’s the kind that creeps into every corner of our lives, even our downtime. When you're on holiday but can’t stop worrying whether your holiday is perfect enough. When stress, exhaustion, lack of motivation or scatterbrained feelings take over—maybe it's time to admit something needs to change. Because believe it or not, this isn’t “just how adulthood works.” Could this be burnout? Burnout is increasingly becoming a widespread issue—especially among people in their 40s. Careers, families, responsibilities… everything keeps piling up, and somehow there’s less and less energy left for you. When nothing seems to recharge you anymore, when you feel like you’re failing in all your roles and just trying to get through the day, it might be time to ask for help. That’s where a health coach comes in. So what is a health coach? Think of a health coach like a personal trainer—but not just for your body, for your whole life. They’re not doctors, and they’re not therapists. They’re professionals who help you reconnect with your balance. They support you in building new habits, managing stress better, and regaining the energy you lost somewhere between unread emails, deadlines, and family duties. What do they actually do? Health coaches are supportive partners who help clarify your life goals, offer fresh perspectives, and co-create personalized strategies for change. They help you recognize the signs of burnout. Burnout doesn’t hit all at once. It sneaks in gradually. A coach can help you identify the warning signs—feelings you may have normalized for too long. For example: Constant fatigue, even when you technically get enough sleep. Lack of motivation, even for things you used to love. Irritability, trouble concentrating, or the feeling that you’re just spinning your wheels. They help you build a sustainable daily routine. Maybe right now it feels like there’s just no time for anything. But that can change. A coach will help you establish small daily habits that gradually bring more balance into your life—whether it’s a 10-minute morning breathing exercise, a short walk, or a strict “no emails after 8 p.m.” policy. They offer guidance on nutrition and lifestyle—not diets. A coach helps you find what kinds of foods and habits actually give you more energy. Maybe that afternoon coffee isn’t the boost you need anymore—maybe there’s a better solution to avoid that evening crash. They teach you to say no. One of the biggest contributors to burnout is being overwhelmed. The “I have to do everything myself or it won’t get done right” mindset will eat away at you over time. A coach helps you identify what really needs your attention—and what you can delegate or simply let go of. When should you consider working with a coach? If your life feels like one never-ending to-do list, and even Monday mornings are exhausting, it might be time to take a step back. A health coach isn’t a miracle worker—but they can help you take back control. Because maybe you’ve come to accept constant tiredness, stress, and the “I’ll rest someday” mindset as normal. But it’s not. The good news? You can change. The only question is: When will you decide to take your life back into your own hands?

cím: Drinking it, enjoying it, using it

lead: Water is our lifeblood, without it, life would be unimaginable on this wonderful planet called Earth. However, water is not simply the source of life. It surrounds us in many forms.

tartalom: + 1 Drink it! The recommended daily water intake is 2 litres for adults. This is the amount that everyone needs for ideal body function. What’s more, in Hévíz, you can also drinksulphurous medicinal water, which is recommended for many people. Drinking Hévíz medicinal water in moderation can relieve stomach aches and bile problems. You cantaste it at the public water fountains. Get in the steam! The sauna is good, many people like it. Hot steam and humid air are an important part of the bathing culture of many civilisations, be it a Roman tepidarium, a Turkish bath, a Japanese onsen or a Finnish sauna. The hot, humid air dilates pores, increases cellular metabolism, refreshes the skin, relaxes the mind and clears the respiratory system. Ice-cold delights! Water vapour is also useful and can be used if it is ice cold. On the one hand, we often cool ourselves with ice cubes, cold water spray or an ice bath after a sauna session, and on the other hand, the cryosauna, which cools the body with temperatures of around minus 140 degrees Celsius, is becoming more and more popular. This freezing treatment takes only two minutes but it is extremely effective. It regenerates cells, alleviates reduced vascular problems, speeds up metabolism and even helps you lose weight. It is no coincidence that competitive athletes used it first for rapid recovery. Inhale water vapour! Having mentioned breathing in hot steam, we should also highlight the other beneficial effects of inhaled vapour. Inhaling water vapour can provide the body with manyvaluable substances, which can be rapidly absorbed. You can think of oxygen therapy, for example, or the mist floating above the lake, which contains gaseous substances that, when inhaled, enhance the healing effect. Hydromassage for everyone! Probably no one has ever been to a spa without standing/ sitting under a water massage jet. The massaging effect of water has been used for a long time, so it's almostubiquitous in spas, wellness and adventure baths. However, water jet massage is not just a simple muscle-relaxing spa experience; it is also a significant treatment. It is also used in Hévíz carried out in a 34-37 degree Celsius water bath under the name of Tangentor therapy. Depending on the strength of the water jet, it can even move deeper muscle layers, and it causes an increase in blood flow to the treated area and has a good effect on lymphatic circulation. It is one of the most popular procedures for post-operative care.   Electricity conducted into water? Why not? It may sound strange, as most people learn at an early age that it is not advisable to dry our hair in the bathtub. However, there are occasions when conducting electricity into the water - much less than 220 V, of course - can be useful. One of these occasions is called the galvanic bath, which is mostly used to relieve arthritis and pain. This treatment should only be used under medical supervision and on a therapeutic basis. Typically, the hands and feet are placed in hot water while a low current is passed through the body thanks to the conductivity of the water.   Splash! Of course, the best way to enjoy the water is to take a bath in it. From refreshing showers and adventure pools to the thermal water of Lake Hévíz, there's hardly a place where you can't spend precious minutes and hours in hot water. It is relaxing, stress relieving and beneficial for the whole body. Doing sports in water is the most joint-friendly form of exercise, so you can now join aqua fitness and aqua spinning classes in many places. Swimming exercises the whole body, but just floating in the silky hot water of Lake Hévíz can also do a lot to keep you fit.
