tartalom: + 1 The parts of the Hévíz Bath nowadays Entrance of the Lake with the cherub statues on the dr. Schulhof Vilmos Promenade. Central Building with 4 indoor pools and rooms and terraces for relaxing. Easily accessible from the direction of Festetics Spa on a floating corridor which was built on the Lake on poles. Festetics Spa, the southern entrance of the Lake which is accessible from Ady E. street. This is the newest building of the Lake where the wellness services are available. Mud pools which are located in the Lake just between the Central Building and Festetics Spa. The entrance from Deák Square also known as the Summer Entrance because it is only open seasonally. The summer dressing room, which stands on the eastern shore of the Lake. It is a building made of wood which is located next to the sunbathing terraces. The „Medve” sunbathing terrace is a separated sunbathing terrace on the southern east part of the Lake.   Dr. Schulhof Vilmos Promenade The Promenade is part of the park, located around the thermal lake. The Dr. Schulhof Vilmos Promenade is starting from the “Indoor bath” („télifürdő”) building, located at the end of the pedestrian zone and it leads to the main entrance of the thermal lake. Hévíz Lake is situated on one side of the Promenade, which is shaded by sycamore trees and bordered by benches, while on the other side we can find the historical buildings of Szent András Reumakórház (Saint Andrew’s Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases). These buildings were built in the 1870s and they were transformed into the current two-storey structures in the beginning of the 1900s. Each house got its own history.
The Art Nouveau style building is located at the northern part of the „Újtelep”, an area established by the Festetics Family. It was named after György Festetics, founder of the town of spas. Currently the György House is accommodating the “A” Building of Szent András Reumakórház (Saint Andrew Rheumatologic Hospital).
It was named after Ferenc Rákóczi the Second, as the building was built in 1863 and the ashes of Ferenc Rákóczi were brought back from Turkey to Hungary in the same year. Currently the Rákóczi House is accommodating the “B” Building of Szent András Reumakórház (Saint Andrew Rheumatologic Hospital).
The building was named after Ella Karola, who was the daughter of Tasziló Festetics. Currently it is accommodating the “C” building of Szent András Reumakórház (Saint Andrew Rheumatologic Hospital).
If we carry on towards south, the next building is a restaurant and assembly hall. The border of the Festetics Estate stretched to this building; this was the first house built from stone. It was built at the end of the 1860s for accommodating guests of the thermal bath. An additional storey was added to the building in 1909, and it became a “Cure Saloon” („Kúrszalon”), which at the time was necessary at bathing resorts. Currently the assembly hall of Szent András Reumakórház (Saint Andrew Rheumatologic Hospital) can be found here.
Francis Joseph – the King of Hungary and Austrian Emperor- made Festetics (II.) Tasziló into prince in the year of the building’s handover, who was the builder of the building. Therefore the choice of name for the building. Currently the Francis Joseph House is accommodating the “D” Building of Szent András Reumakórház (Saint Andrew Rheumatologic Hospital).
The building was built based on the plans of Ferenc Lonkay, the manorial architect of the Festetics Family in 1870-71. The house was part of the “Újtelep”, where the houses were serial numbered. Therefore the choice of name for the building. Currently a hotel is operated in the building under the management of Hévíz Medicinal Spa and Saint Andrew Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases.
The original name of the building was Tasziló villa, but after the death of Prince Festetics (II.) Tasziló it was renamed to Deák House after Ferenc Deák.
  The history of the Hévíz Bath Spa Hévíz between 1795 and 1905 The first rectangular bathhouse, consisting of two buildings, was built in 1795 by the landowner Count I. Festetics György. The news on the benefits of the medicinal water reached Vienna in 1801, and the presence of the white water lilies in the lake was already mentioned in a memoir in 1818. Additional Indian species were planted to these water lilies in 1898.  In 1858, afforestation around the lake, modernisation of the spa buildings and development of the lakeside buildings for guests started. In the centre of the lake, the male and female mirror baths (baths surrounded with cabins) were located, but many people still used the sluice of Hévíz, which was wider that time, for swimming. Spa Hévíz in the 1910s and 1920s From 1905, leaseholder Reichl Vencel did his best to develop Hévíz into an international spa town.  The former bathhouse was replaced by a domed building, and it is also due to him that a number of modern accommodation and restaurants, and the „Cure Salon”, essential to the health resort, were built. In 1907, on the site of the old built bridge, a roofed bridge was erected and the characteristic two-towered main entrance was completed. In the same year, the Sanatorium and Spa Hotel of Hévíz was built. In 1911, the town received the „spa resort-like settlement” title. Spa Hévíz in the 1930s After 1926 development started up again. The characteristic lakeside bathhouse was built, as well as the main building received a glass roof in 1932 and thus it became completely covered. In 1930, there was already 7 hotels, 11 restaurants and 40 villas in the village. Varied cultural life awaited the almost 16 thousand guests who came her annually.  In these years of happy peace time Dr Schulhof Vilmos was the chief physician in Hévíz. He did a lot through his work to popularise the therapeutics of Hévíz. Today, the promenade beside the lake is named after him. Buildings of Hévíz before 1945 Contemporaneously with the completion of the first bathhouse (1795), the „cupping house” used for healing (venesection=scarification) was erected. Whereas the surrounding area of the lake was merely a reedy, marshy area in the first half of the 19th century, from the 1850s a beautiful choice of hotel buildings was built on purpose. In 1870, the Houses I to VII, out of which the House No. Seven was the only two-story building,  were already completed. A Roman Catholic chapel was also built (it was demolished later), then in the beginning of the 1900s the hotels, bazaar buildings, as well as the „Cure Salon”, where balls and concerts were held,  were finished.  Spa Hévíz in the 1950s and 1960s In 1948, the thermal lake and all related buildings and parks, which were owned by the Festetics Family up to that time, were nationalised and the period of state-subsidised holidays began. In 1952, the National Spa Hospital of Hévíz was established and later this year Hévíz was declared a health resort of national importance. By 1968, the country's most modern spa building fully equipped with balneo-therapeutic medical devices. Dr Moll Károly, the internationally renowned rheumatologist physician, who invented the weight bath, started his work during this period.   Spa Hévíz in the 1970s and 1980s In the 1970s tourism increased to such an extent – thanks to the western guests too – that the building of additional quality hotels and the rebuilding of the thermal lake buildings were needed. The former domed buildings were replaced by larch-covered, towered buildings from 1977 continuously. The total renovation was completed by 1985, but the visitors could not enjoy the new facility for a long time since it was completely destroyed as a result of a fire on 3rd March 1986. Finally, the new buildings were finished in 1989. Traditional Hévíz Therapy People could read about the beneficial effects of Hévíz medicinal water in 1780 for the first time. Initially, in addition to bathing, only bloodletting was applied as a therapy, the sanatorium was built in 1907 in the village.  The first famous doctor of the village was Schulhof Vilmos, who already used electrotherapy and x-rays, in addition to bathing, in the musculoskeletal rehabilitation. From the 1950s the work of Dr Moll Károly put new life into the Hévíz therapy, the country's most modernly equipped balneo-therapeutic bathhouse was completed in the village in 1968.  Since then, services have increased with a wide spectrum of treatments, but the basis of the Traditional Hévíz Therapy is still the following: bathing in medicinal water, medicinal mud wrap or mud bath and weight bath by Moll Károly. These can be individually supplemented by drinking cure, medicinal massage, movement-, physio- or hydrotherapy.    Kind memories of Hévíz During the last 220 years, the spa resort attracted a number of visitors, who could be celebrities or less famous people, or in exceptional cases even animals, who became famous. Whereas it was quite natural that animals were driven into the water in the 1800s, in 1914, it caused a great sensation when Nelly, the sore-legged elephant was moved to Hévíz. Bathing in muddy medicinal water twice a day was prescribed to the former circus elephant and she performed it with great enthusiasm. The 3-year-old elephant was so popular that she became an extra tourist attraction to the town and the visitors surprised her with basketful of goodies, such as fresh cherries, every day.

The flora and fauna of the lake is unique due to the temperature and chemical composition of the water. Some species of the Hungarian flora and fauna can only be found here. Water lilies in the lake We may say it with good reason that the most unique plants of Lake Hévíz are the water lilies. The English physician and traveller Richard Bright also commemorated these special flowers in his book from 1815. White water lilies are autochthonous in the lake – although they have almost vanished, but a lot of them can be found in the sluice. In the end of the 1800s several attempts were made to plant various types of water lilies, of which the acclimatization of the Indian red water lily was successfully accomplished. The Indian red water lily was acclimatized in 1898 by Lovassy Sándor, a lecturer of the Academy of Economics in Keszthely.Since then the flower has become a real symbol of the town. Did you know that the home of the red water lily is actually the tropical Bengal, Eastern India? a stem develops even 10 to 20 leaves during a summer? the flowers open late at night and only close the next morning? blooming lasts from June to late November? the flowers are not only aesthetically important, but also play a significant role in decreasing the cooling of the water? the stolons trailing all over the bottom protect the medicinal mud? Little animals In addition to the flora, the fauna of the lake is also very diverse. Small unicellular organisms and vertebrates live here too. They do not disturb bathers, because only those will become aware of their existence who persistently search for them. The lake and its environment make home for plankton-crabs, water-snails, fish, dragonflies, leaf- and rose beetles, and even many species of butterflies. Did you know that 66 kinds of snail live in and around the lake? common carp and tench are autochtonous species of fish? However, you can also meet the mosquitofish, the Prussian carp or the pumpkinseed sunfish. in addition to the edible frog, also the marsh frog and the European fire-bellied toad live here? the European pond turtle, the smooth newt and some grass snakes come sometimes into view in the sedge marsh? the surroundings of the sluice are swarmed by wild ducks in the autumn and spring? The mute swans, black-headed gulls and Eurasian coot can find shelter here in the winter. tourists sometimes can see water shrew, common shrew or European mole? Protection forest, park Everybody takes delight in the colourful sight of water-lilies covering the surface of the lake. The red Indian water-lily was brought to Hungary in 1898 by Sándor Lovassy, the teacher of the Academy of Economy in Keszthely. These days the indigenous white water-lily of the Lake occurs mostly in the drainage canal due to the purification. The strictly protected plants are in bloom from the beginning of summer to the end of November. Water-lilies are significant for two reasons; in one hand, their leaves slow down the evaporation of the lake and on the other hand their runners all around at the bottom of the Lake protect the medicinal mud. The Berki Study Trail still unknown by most people, however, there are several sights worth visiting in the course of a walking tour. The Trail covers the Lake of Hévíz and the surrounding moor as well as its flora and fauna which is unique not only in Hungary but in Europe as well. Under the microscope... Typical plants of the heat spring are blue-green algae, whose certain species are able to live in high temperature because of the special composition of their proteins. Thiobacteria are also typical inhabitants of the lake, they are able to store the sulphur excreted from the water in their cells. Different strains of bacteria living in the lake make the water of the lake antiseptic. Also one of the special species of micromonospora lives in the lake, which is called ‘micromonospora heviziensis’ after its residence – since it has not been known before. It is a powerful protein- and cellulose decomposer, therefore it is an important organism of the underwater soil of the lake. The actinomycetes species also discovered in Hévíz is said to be special as well: it can only be found here in Central Europe. It accumulates iodine crystals in its cells and in their environment.

tartalom: + 1 The story of the wine culture in Hévíz Wine-making on Egregy hill has a tradition which goes back to the Roman era when viticulture was introduced to the region. During the reign of the Árpád-dynasty, people continued this form of agriculture as proven by an official certificate dated back in 1221. In the Turkish era, the medieval village was destroyed and deserted, but the area was populated again after the immigration of German settlers at the beginning of the 17th century. Just like their ancestors, these people also continued traditional viticulture in the Balaton region. The region had excellent potentials for this activity: the warm and sometimes hot soil and the favourable climatic conditions always guaranteed and still guarantee the production of excellent quality wines, which was also complemented by the locals’ love of work. It is a special wine region of white wines but certain types of red wine grapes were also planted here. The most remarkable varieties of the region are Olaszrizling (“Italian Riesling), a Szürkebarát (Pinot Gris) and Rizlingszilváni (Müller Thurgau), but we may also find Zöldveltelini (Green veltliner) and different types of Muskotály (Muscat) too. Egregy is not only famous for its church, which was built during the reign of the Árpád-dynasty, but thanks to the favourable natural features viticulture also plays a significant part in the life of the area. Egregy hill was classified as a high-quality wine region in 1998, and the wines produced here were classified as characteristic wines of the Balaton region. The local government also found and still finds it important to popularize the wines of Hévíz, therefore, in March 2007 the Wine of the town of Hévíz was chosen for the first time, which event is also held every year.

tartalom: + 1 However, the roots of the bathing cure known today date back to 1795, into the times of Count György Festetics. Thanks to the knowledge, accumulated since then, and to the expertise, hundreds of thousands have regained their health, so the Traditional Hévíz Therapy has become a trademark of the town. The Traditional Hévíz Therapy is based on the medicinal water of Hévíz, which, due to its rich mineral content, is particularly effective in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. Its effectiveness is proved by recent medical researches as well as thousands of cured guests. Using it as natural medicine – under medical guidelines – can help to mitigate several complaints. In the course of the Traditional Hévíz Therapy, the original complex Hévíz therapy is carried out on the chosen location in order that you can receive the most effective treatment method.
How does the Traditional Hévíz Therapy begin?In each case, the setting up of the complex therapy plan is preceded by a medical examination with condition assessment. Based on your personal condition, the specialists determine the therapy elements that build on each other, such as the duration of bathing in the medicinal water, the type and frequency of treatments, on the spot.The treatments are carried out according to specified rules by qualified personnel and under continuous medical control for the sake of your receiving quality service. What does the Traditional Hévíz Therapy consist of?The basic elements of the therapy, according to the individual treatment plan, may include: Bathing in qualified thermal water Medicinal mud wrap or mud bath of Hévíz Weight bath – based on a rheumatologist of Hévíz, Dr Moll Károly's invention Additional elements of the therapy, according to the individual treatment plan, may include: Consuming medicinal water of Hévíz from a drinking-fountain Therapeutic massage Movement therapy individually and/or in a group Physiotherapeutic treatments (electro-magnetic-mechano-light, etc.) Hydrotherapy: CO2 bathtub, underwater jet massage, galvanic bath Based on the condition assessment, a specialist determines, which of the above mentioned treatments are recommended to relieve your complaints. Each therapy is individually designed making sure that its elements reinforce each other. The healing treasures of the water are complemented and made complex by the curative power given by the natural environment. The green trees around the lake, the evaporating steam, which spreads out above the lake as a dome, exert their positive impact together. How long does the Traditional Hévíz Therapy take?During the Traditional Hévíz Therapy you attend at least 15 treatments from among the above described ones on consecutive days. The duration of the therapy should be 2 weeks in an ideal case. Not only do the treatments of Hévíz result in momentary improvement, but they also prevent the recurrence of pain for months. Where is the Traditional Hévíz Therapy available?A number of service provider offer the Traditional Hévíz Therapy and guarantee the proper application of knowledge and experience acquired over centuries. The Traditional Hévíz Therapy is available at the following locations: SAINT ANDREW HOSPITAL FOR RHEUMATIC DISEASES - Hotel Spa Hévíz **** Esana Thermal Aqua Health Spa Hotel **** Esana Thermal Hévíz Health Spa Hotel****superior Hotel Aquamarin*** Hotel Európa fit****superior Kolping Hotel Spa & Family Resort**** Medical Centre (BM Sanatorium) NaturMed Hotel Carbona****superior Take the Traditional Hévíz Therapy and experience the positive effects of the therapeutic factors! Many people can be thankful for the thermal water located here for their recovery. We asked Dr. Mándó Zsuzsanna, the medical director of Hévíz Spa and Saint Andrew’s Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases about the secret of the lake: What is so special about the thermal lake? The spring of the lake, which is rich in minerals, arises from a 38 metres deep cave, where tens of thousands of years old hot and cold karst waters mix with each other. The discharge of the lake is 410 l/s, so the water is completely changed every three days, the temperature in winter does not drop below 22 degrees Celsius – so outdoor bathing is also possible in winter -, in summer it even reaches 38 degrees Celsius.Because of its unique environment, the flora and fauna of the lake is very special, the different coloured water lilies planted in the lake are beautiful sights, they even blossom in late autumn. What kind of complaints can effectively be relieved by this water? The medicinal water of Hévíz can mainly be used for musculoskeletal diseases, including cases where follow-up treatments are needed after rheumatic, orthopaedic, musculoskeletal operations and injuries, but it is also perfectly suitable for chronic gynaecological and dermatological diseases as a complementary treatment.

tartalom: + 1 Proof, not promises– effectiveness of the therapies of Hévíz One million visitors a year, regular customer rate of 80%, thousands of cured people in Hévíz, this is not a coincidence! It has been known for a long time that the water of Lake Hévíz is a remedy for several complaints and many people owe their recovery to the therapies carried out here. The recent researches of Hévíz Spa and St Andrew’s Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases are now also scientifically proven beneficial effects. Several research programmes were carried out in the institute and all of them ended with positive results. The following research was also presented at an international congress and even published in a well-known European specialist magazine: Examination of the medical effects of Lake Hévíz in patients with knee joint degenerations In the course of the research the patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis were divided into two groups. One group bathed in the lake and the other in a pool with heated tap water for 3 weeks, 30 minutes 5 times a week.  The patients did not get any other physiotherapeutic treatments and the doctors carrying out the examinations did not know in which group the patients were. The doctors measuring various parameters before the treatments, after the treatments and 12 weeks after the end of the treatments found that the difference between the two groups were significant. The research has clearly shown that the water of Lake Hévíz reduced the pain of the patients who were suffering from knee joint degenerations, improved their movement functions and thus positively affected the patients’ quality of life both in the short and long term. You can download the article here. After the successful international acceptance preparation of further scientific articles is going on about the following researches: 1. Proving the effectiveness of the weight bath therapy in case of low back pain The aim of the research was to prove the effectiveness of the weight bath, which was introduced by Dr. Moll Károly in 1953, in case of patients suffering from mild or moderate lumbago. In addition to the parameters showing the movements and the indices of the quality of life the authors placed special emphasis on the data measured by the Spineliner device, which has an objective method to measure the stiffness or flexibility of the joints and muscles. The medical examinations carried out directly after the weight bath therapy and then 3 months after the therapy showed improvement in almost every parameter, demonstrated significant improvement in several parameters proving the positive effects of the treatments. 2. Determining the effects of the healing mud of Hévíz in case of patients suffering from hand arthrosis The aim of the research was to examine and document the therapeutic and chemical effects of the healing mud of Hévíz in case of patients suffering from mild and moderate hand osteoarthritis. In the course of the research the patients were divided into two groups: the patients in group one were given medicinal mud directly on both of their hands, whereas the patients of the second group got the healing mud on both of their hands through a layer of nylon for 3 weeks, 5 times a week. Various parameters were tested at the beginning and at the end of the therapy and after 15 weeks. Based on the clinical tests, improvement was observed in patients who received mud treatments. 3. The effect of the complex physiotherapy of Hévíz in case of a specific autoimmune disorder The ongoing research program carried out together with the University of Pécs examines the effects of the complex physiotherapy of Hévíz in case of patients suffering from a specific autoimmune disorder (systemic sclerosis) affecting their hands. The aim of the study is to improve the functions of the hands by the help of a 3-week-long complex physiotherapy as well as to determine the short- and long-term effects. On weekdays the patients were given the following treatments: medicinal bath, whirlpool bath, mud treatments, massage, physiotherapy, ergotherapy. At the weekend they got 30 minutes’ bath, went for a walk and relaxed. In the short term most of the measured parameters have improved and the used treatments have been effective. In the long term the hand function tests have partially shown promising results. The findings of further examinations are expected by autumn 2014. 4. Cardiospa – the experience of the technical testing of the telemetric cardiologic monitoring during balneotherapy in Hévíz The general objective of the project is to provide a partially automated remote medical monitoring for patients who would stand in need of thermal water because of their underlying disease, but cannot take it because of their contraindications of cardiologic nature. The tests were carried out in 51 volunteer patients who do not suffer from heart diseases and it was found that the measuring instrument was able to give appropriate signals during staying in the thermal water and was well tolerated also by the patients.In the next phase of the research it is planned to try the instrument out on patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases. The above findings motivate the doctors of Hévíz for carrying out further researches, which are hoped to also have positive outcome. Visit Hévíz and try out the proven medicinal therapies of Hévíz!

tartalom: + 1 THE HISTORY OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY IN HÉVÍZ BEFORE WORLD WAR I Hévízfürdő, which became world-famous for its medicinal lake, was referred to as Keszthelyi-Hévíz before the First World War. On the western side of the lake, the bathing complex was established in the 1860s, which belonged to the Festetics estate. In the 1920s, the spa community was established in its neighborhood, which, together with the spa complex, belonged administratively to the Hévízszentandras district registry established in 1907. The Jews of Hévízfürdő were closely linked to the Jews of neighboring Keszthely. View of Hévízfürdő Towards the end of the 18th century, the first Jewish residents settled in Hévízszentandrás (then still Szentandrás). The village's first Jew - a certain Joachim - appeared in the 1795 tax census, and the 1798 register mentioned a person named "Isák Jósef". The Jews of Szentandrás belonged to the mother faith community of Keszthely from a religious and administrative (registry) point of view. In the second half of the 19th century, the number of Jews was limited to only a few families and only 2-3 percent of the population. In 1890, 5 out of 240 inhabitants (2.1%), in 1910 8 out of 303 inhabitants (2.6%) were of Israelite religion. Thanks to the booming spa life after the First World War, most Jews lived in Hévízszentandrás in 1930 (23 people, 3.4 percent of the population), while in Egregy, which is further from the spa, there were no Jews since the 1920s. Among those vacationing and seeking healing at Hévízfürdő, however, the proportion of Jews became more and more significant, accounting for a quarter of the visitors (20-30 thousand people) in the summer season. The Israeli guests played an important role in the urbanization of the bathing place, in spreading the bourgeois way of life and cultural customs, while Hévízfürdő also promoted the social acceptance and practical validation of their civil equality. Several of the hotels, shops and restaurants that spread in the spa area were owned by Jewish investors. The Jewish guests' religious needs were met by the Israelite house of prayer, inaugurated in 1910, which was built on the left bank of the drainage channel of the spa, near Ignác Lusztig's restaurant named "Jeruzsálem". During the high season - from the end of May to the end of August - dr. Sándor Büchler, The chief rabbi of Keszthely,  often taught from the Bible and the Talmud. The collection of the musical services and cultural performances was used for the medical treatment of poor believers. Mandel's restaurant provided kosher meals for spa guests of the Israeli religion. The Israelite House of Prayer stood next to the left bank of the drainage channel The Jerúzsálem restaurant (later Alsó restaurant) The Reischl family, who leased the spa from the Festetics for 35 years (1905–1940), played a major role in the spa's prosperity - jr. Vencel Reischl, then Imre and Richárd's sons - as well as the Jewish spa doctors who created the foundations of Hévíz spa medicine, dr. Vilmos Schulhof and dr. Ödön Schulhof, and the Christian dr. Károly Moll. Dr. Vilmos Schulhof, spa doctor, rheumatologist and balneologist, worked in Hévíz from 1906. Here, in 1911, he established the second Zander medical institution in Europe, where therapeutic gymnastics using machines was used as a supplement to the spa treatment. Before the First World War, spa doctor Schulhof carried out extensive scientific work to promote the spa in both domestic and foreign interest. His articles were published in numerous domestic and German trade magazines, he was one of the editors of the spa guides published annually by the National Balneology Association, in which he wrote the chapter on the Hévíz Spa. Dr. Vilmos Schulhof laid the foundations of Hévízfürdő with his research, scientific and educational work, and made the spa known abroad. The Zander Institute and its medico mechanical machine line THE HISTORY OF HÉVÍZ JEWISHNESS BETWEEN THE TWO WORLD WARS By the end of the 1920s, the house of worship proved to be small, and it was far from the spa community that was developing at the "American pace". The Israelite church was inaugurated in an ornate ceremony on July 2, 1933, the ceremony was presided over by dr. Sándor Büchler, the chief rabbi of Keszthely, and it was attended by representatives of the secular authorities, many Neolog and Orthodox rabbis, as well as the spa guests. The Festetics principality contributed with real estate, the Reischl Fürdőbérlő Társaság and the Hévízszentandrás spa community, as well as numerous private individuals contributed to the construction through monetary donations. Established as a branch of the Keszthely parish and later becoming independent Dr. Sándor Büchler Chief Rabbi was elected as President of the Hévíz parish, and Dr. Adolf Kertész, a lawyer from Budapest, the organizer of the church construction and an enthusiastic supporter of the spa was elected as the secular president. Among the members of the presidium was Dr. Ödön Schulhof spa doctor, local resident Miksa Singer, and several regular visitors to the spa. The exterior and interior of the synagogue in Hévíz followed Orthodox traditions with the aim of enabling even the more religious of the spa guests to practice their faith. The synagogue was built in 1933 near the lake According to reports from the time, the synagogue was crowded during the Friday evening and Saturday services with Israeli guests seeking spiritual nourishment in addition to healing, whose donations helped maintain the religious life. Among the vacationers, a significant proportion of people were of the Israelite religion. In one of the buildings of the spa walkway, the Kurszalon (Medicine Room), concerts were often organized for the benefit of the Israelite church fund, in which spa guests participated regardless of denominational difference. The church was inaugurated by dr. Sándor Büchler Chief Rabbi Dr. Ödön Schulhof (Vilmos' half-brother) worked in Berlin after graduating from the medical university in Budapest, from where he returned home in 1923, and practiced at his brother Vilmos's Zander Institute in Hévíz during the spa season. His work was already considered pioneering in the decades between the two world wars. In the 1920s, he was the first to use novocaine infiltration to relieve rheumatic and joint pain. As the first X-ray doctor in Hévíz, he also produced outstanding joint and bone X-rays on a national scale. The so-called Bársony-Schulhof "view" X-ray procedure has been used all over the world. Dr. Ödön Schulhof (on the left) and Dr. Vilmos Schulhof (on the right) spa doctors During the census of the Jewish residents of the Hévízszentandrás district registry on April 28, 1944, fifteen Jewish residents were recorded in 4 households in Hévízszentandrás and the spa area. The same number were listed in the list of names made in the Keszthely ghetto on May 26, but only thirteen were listed on the list of those transported to Zalaegerszeg due to labor service calls. Among the Jews of Hévíz, the members of the Freller, Frisch, Simon and Singer families, as well as dr. Vilmos Schulhof and László Ungár were destroyed in Auschwitz, several others (men in labor service) died elsewhere. STARTING AGAIN AFTER THE WAR, DEMOLITION OF THE CHURCH In the intact synagogue, Jewish spa guests visiting Hévíz continued to practice their religion after the war. However, after the death of Dr. Adolf Kertész (1959), the religious life ceased at the end of the 1960s, and the orphaned, decaying building was demolished in April 1977, in connection with the reconstruction of the buildings of the lake bath between 1977-1982. The lake cabinet cover was donated by Imre Simon in 1955 The synagogue was demolished in 1977 On July 2, 2000, the Holocaust memorial ("Hévíz Wailing Wall") was inaugurated on the site of the synagogue in the presence of the Israeli Ambassador Judith Shorer Várnai, which was built with the sacrifices of the city. Holocaust memorial erected on the site of the synagogue   Sources used: SZARKA Lajos, Páratlan testvérpár. A Schulhof - testvérek szerepe Hévíz „világfürdővé” válásában.

Hévíz: Hévíz Város Önkormányzata, 2000.     INFORMATION FOR INTERIOR SPACE OBJECT ELEMENTS The synagogue - or in Hebrew bet hákneszet (house of assembly) - is the central place of Jewish religious and ritual life, where Jewish people gather. The orthodox synagogue in Hévíz was inaugurated on July 2, 1933. The main entrance and two side entrances opened from the western side of the synagogue. The women entered through the side entrance on the left, from which a staircase led up to the upstairs gallery. Women were separated from men. The main entrance and the door on the right were used by men, the latter led to the room in the vestibule where the basin of water for ritual hand washing stood, and the faithful could enter the main entrance vestibule after this had been done. At the inauguration of the synagogue, several commemorative plaques made of precious stones (granite, marble) were placed in the vestibule, two listed the names of those who made large donations to the construction, one indicated the time and main data of the construction (it was built between 1930-33 on the plot donated by the hg. Festetics Tasziló , at the initiative of Dr. Adolf Kertész and his wife, based on the plans of the chief technical advisor Artúr Boros, under the leadership of master builder András Varga and under the supervision of Béla Berényi). On the fourth board were the names of those who supported the Israeli patients who came to Hévíz with bed donations. The fifth - smaller - white marble tablet was erected in honor of Adolf Kertész the synagogue founder, who died in 1959. The wooden-framed plaque of the Israelite Prayer Society of Hévízfürdő was hung in the lobby. This showed the order of services, which started on Friday at 7 pm and on Saturday at 9 am during the bathing season. Among those listed, two large memorial plaques (donors and bed donors) and dr. Adolf Kertész's plaque was placed on the Holocaust memorial inaugurated on July 2, 2000. In the center of the interior stood the bima, or Torah reading platform, from which the designated section of the Torah was read aloud facing east (towards Jerusalem) on Sabbaths and holidays in Orthodox synagogues. The bima was typically decorated with a menorah (seven-branched candelabrum). In the central space - in front of and behind the bima - benches were placed, where the believers took their seats and followed the prayer. On the east side – facing Jerusalem, the former Sanctuary – was the Torah cabinet (or frig cabinet), where the Torah scroll (or scrolls) containing the 5 books of Moses were stored. The Torah cabinet was covered with a decorative Torah cabinet cover made of velvet and silk, with embroidered Hebrew inscriptions and Jewish symbols (Star of David, menorah, olive branch), which was pulled away when the Torah was taken out. Imre Simon and his wife donated a new Torah cabinet cover to the Hévíz church in 1955, the inscription on which referred to the martyrs who were destroyed in the Holocaust ("in memory of our fathers"). Near the Torah booth, the rabbi (from the right) and the cantor, or prayer leader (from the left), had a decorative seat. The seat of the leaders of the religious community was placed near the eastern side. On the high-backed bench preserved from the Hévíz church, The names of President dr.Adolf Kertész, Artúr Boros and József Brüll were marked with enameled plaques. The church was lit by 3 large windows from the north and south, and the narrower windows on the west (entrance) side were the galleries designated for women. The synagogue's small decorative glass window - depicting a blue Star of David enclosed in a white circle - has survived. The interior lighting of the synagogue was provided by the chandelier hanging from the ceiling and the lamps placed on the walls, with bronze and wrought iron wall brackets. A wall arm from the latter also remained. In front of the frigate, there was a perpetual candlestick (nér tómid) hanging from the ceiling, which reminds of the eternally burning fire on the altar of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. A separate association (Nér Tómid, or Örökmécs Egyesület) usually took care of keeping the candle flame alive.

Opening on August 4, 2023 at 4:00 p.m. in Protective forest.

The essence of the pART project is to consider the forest itself as an art space, and let nature itself be the central component of the work of art. Art is not alien to its environment, on the contrary: it is an integral part of the landscape. The creations are not made to last forever, but are volatile and changeable, just like nature. They are part of a permanent cycle, while the forest itself becomes a gallery and also the subject of art.

We will introduce the artists and the exhibition after the opening!

 

Anyone who knows the area and has seen the exhibition - which is not only about the forest but also about the forest itself - will understand the choice of title. The pART forest exhibit is located on the forest path next to the northern stream of Lake Hévíz. The exhibition of more than 60 images of the wildlife in the nature reserve allows you to walk through the forest and discover the hidden beauties that are usually difficult to see with the naked eye or remain hidden during an ordinary walk. The pictures, stretched on and between trees, show wonderful birds, special plants, small animals and insects. Many of the works are paintings by nature illustrator Márton Zsoldos. The exhibition also includes a few photos taken by nature conservation guards Előd Búzás and Gábor Sinka in the immediate vicinity of Lake Hévíz.

The forest exhibition opens with a wooden gate bearing the motto of the exhibition:

"Open to nature!"

Tamás Pálffy from the organizer Hévízi Turisztikai Np Kft. emphasized that the whole Forest Ministry programme series was organized taking into account the nature conservation, sustainability and green event aspects. Each event tries to leave as small an ecological footprint as possible, and in all its elements it strives to bring people, nature and cultural experiences closer together in a way that only interferes with nature in a small but in no way harmful way.

For this exhibition, recycled wooden picture frames donated by local residents were used, and sugar cane was used for fixing. The forest exhibition is expected to be on display until 30 September, but this may change depending on the use of natural materials and weather conditions. Durability was not an objective in this case.

However, the gate will remain! Because whether or not there is a pART Forest Tour in the Hévíz Forest, the message is always the same: Open to nature!

 EVERY TOUR IS FOR FREE!- ONLY IN HUNGARIAN (or German) LANGUAGE

Venue of the programs How to reach the Forest? Come by bus, bicycle, roller or on foot! You can reach the Forest easily from the Deák Square, Ady Endre street and via the Festetics Alley bicycle roads from the direction of Keszthely-Hévíz and Hévíz-Alsópáhok, from the Farmers Market throught the little walkways in the woods. There are paths barrier-free and suitable for running, which are connecting the Waterlily Trail to the West and North-Protective Forest. You can get to know the swamp world in the lower Protective Forest from the plank trail, and in the upper Forest you can look down to the town from the canopy loookout tower. Not so far from the forest the Farmers Market awaits you three times a week, also restaurants, buffets, opened daily, assigned cyclepath, bicycle storage and accesible public toilet is available hardly by the venue.  

The main aim of the program is to see the forest as a protected natural value while we also show it as an existing place for culture and art. We would like to connect the man-nature-art trio to each other to create a new unity with the help of cultural events.

What do WE do to reach this?

  • we do not intervene in the circle of nature with our events, we do not create alien objects in the forest
  • we do not set stages, lighting or an auditorium: everything stays natural
  • we only use portable devices
  • the number of attendees are limited to 50 people/event
  • we do not spend more than 3 hours in the forest at one occasion

tartalom: + 1 POST-COVID CARE - GENERAL IMMUNE BOOSTING PROGRAMME IN HÉVÍZ Nowadays, the general weakness of the immune system, the appearance of post-Covid symptoms, fatigue, breathing difficulties, and reduced exercise capacity are current problems among people who have contracted Covid-19 disease. The severity of illness caused by the Covid-19 virus varies from patient to patient, with different post-Covid symptoms. If you have symptoms associated with the disease, such as persistent cough, breathing difficulties, fatigue, joint pain, it is recommended that you take part in a shorter health programme designed to manage these symptoms. The severity of illness caused by the Covid-19 virus varies from patient to patient, with different post-Covid symptoms. The programme includes a range of treatments. Also, specialist consultations and monitoring are provided throughout the process. However, due to the variety and severity of post-Covid symptoms, the treatments recommended and the number of treatments may vary from patient to patient.

After 220 years of medical experience and research, the Traditional Hévíz Therapy became a trademark of Hévíz in 2015. The therapy consists of three basic and four complementary treatments using the healing properties of sulphurous magnesium carbonate water.

Experts have recognized that a significant part of the hydro, movement, physio- and electrotherapies of the Traditional Hévíz Therapy is suitable for the treatment of certain problems of the Post-Covid syndrome. In addition, the mineral content of Lake Hévíz, the evaporating water and the climatic effect of the 60-hectare Protective Forest surrounding the lake are also very effective in achieving the healing effect.

The Post-Covid Care programme will work on the model of the already proven Traditional Hévíz Therapy. Patients arriving in Hévíz with post-Covid-19 symptoms will receive professional and personalised treatments in the comfort of a hotel, under medical supervision. The programme and the quality of the treatments will be identical, regardless of which Hévíz location the patient chooses.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF POST-COVID SYNDROME? HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU NEED THIS PROGRAMME? Post-Covid symptoms can occur up to 4-6 weeks after an acute infection. The most common symptoms are fatigue, shortness of breath or chest pain, muscle weakness, concentration problems, insomnia or nightmares. Many Covid-infected patients have been diagnosed with psychological problems, muscle pain, palpitations, headaches, loss of sense of smell and taste, memory and auditory problems. If the symptoms do not subside twelve weeks after the infection, it is called a post-Covid-19 syndrome.

You can achieve a speedy recovery and fuller rehabilitation, as far as possible, not by medication but by a targeted treatment plan (active exercise, passive treatment methods and other physiotherapy techniques). The aim is to preserve the function of the parts of the body that remain intact, to promote the regeneration of damaged tissues and to integrate the recovered functions into the movements of everyday life.

  • reducing breathing difficulties
  • restoring and improving diaphragm function
  • improving chest mobility
  • restoring and improving the breathing mechanism

lead: Pickles, fermented vegetables, smoky zakuska, homemade jams, and roasted hazelnuts — all crafted from homegrown produce, free of additives, just like grandma used to make.
tartalom: + 1 From garden to jar Have you ever tasted roasted hazelnuts? Tried pickled turnips? Love fermented vegetables? At Cserszegtomaj Delights, the family’s homegrown fruits and vegetables are transformed into delicious jams, healthy pickles, rich vegetable spreads — and even roasted hazelnuts, one of the key ingredients in Nutella. Éva Mózerné Merics and her family have been growing their own produce for decades. By expanding into small-scale processing, they now manage every step from seed to jar themselves. A legacy rooted in grandmother’s kitchen The farm is built on generations of family knowledge and experience. What started as growing food for personal use gradually turned into selling surplus at local markets. For years, Éva’s grandmother sold their homemade products at the Keszthely market. As demand for preservative-free, homemade goods grew, Éva left her previous job and dedicated herself full-time to farming and processing. Today, the family cultivates several hectares of orchards, vegetable plots, and a hazelnut grove in Cserszegtomaj. Thanks to increased processing capacity, their products are now available year-round — though seasonal ingredients ensure constant variety. Traditional methods, modern values The product range includes classic pickles, fermented vegetables, vegetable spreads, jams, and roasted Turkish hazelnuts — plain, salted, or chocolate-coated. Depending on the season, Éva might also bring fresh produce to market: pumpkins in autumn, persimmons or quince paste in winter. Éva learned the art of preserving, fermenting, and natural processing from her mother-in-law. Many of her products are made without preservatives or additives, using traditional methods — just like grandma did. Fermented and pickled products — like turnips, cabbage, beets, or broad beans — are unpasteurized, retaining their natural nutrients and rich flavors. All vegetables are grown on the family’s land. Every step — slicing, bottling, labeling — is done by hand in their workshop in Cserszegtomaj. "Good things take time" That philosophy could easily be Cserszegtomaj Delights’ slogan. Éva believes that patience is the key to creating truly healthy, high-quality foods — whether preserving, pickling, or fermenting. More than a farm: an experience Besides their Cserszegtomaj farm, the family also maintains plantations in Alsópáhok, where they operate two guesthouses. Soon, they will open a demonstration garden, offering thematic programs and hands-on workshops where visitors can learn the secrets of homemade preserves. A mission, not just a job “What the garden gives, I want to turn into more than just flavor. I want to create life.” For Éva, farming is not just work, but a calling. She firmly believes that what we eat affects our quality of life, which is why knowing where food comes from — and how it’s made — truly matters.   Product highlights Zakuska This traditional vegetable spread is made from fire-roasted eggplants, homemade ground peppers, and their own tomato puree — all free of additives. The eggplants are roasted over fruitwood coals, giving them a signature smoky flavor. Every step is done by hand: peeling the eggplants, harvesting garden-grown peppers and onions, simmering the tomatoes. Seasoned simply but boldly, the zakuszka showcases the true taste of vegetables. Thick and creamy, it’s vegan, gluten-free, and perfect on bread, toast, or as a flavorful side dish. Each jar captures the essence of a Cserszegtomaj season. Roasted hazelnuts On their plantation, Éva’s son Gergő and his family tend to over 700 hazelnut bushes, using eco-friendly, chemical-free methods. After harvesting, the nuts are dried, cracked, hand-sorted, and roasted in small batches to ensure maximum flavor and crunch. They are available plain, salted, or coated in chocolate for those with a sweet tooth. Gergő also produces cold-pressed hazelnut oil — a rare delicacy in Hungary.

Imagine a vast body of water — over 1,000 meters deep and more than 400 times the size of Lake Balaton — once rippling across this land. The story of the Pannonian Lake is not just a fascinating chapter of geological history, but a legacy that continues to shape the region: it left behind mineral resources, fertile soils, and even inspired legends. Discover how an ancient lake transformed Transdanubia — and why its impact is still felt today.

An Inland Sea for Millions of Years

At its greatest extent, the Pannonian Lake covered an enormous area, far surpassing the size of today’s Balaton. For millions of years (approximately 12 to 8.5 million years ago), it dominated the region. As surrounding mountain ranges gradually rose, the lake became cut off from the world’s oceans. Its water slowly turned fresh, and its basin began to fill with sediments. Because of its isolation, the lake developed a unique ecosystem with many endemic species.

The Lake Didn’t Appear Overnight

The Pannonian Lake didn’t simply “appear” in the Carpathian Basin. Its formation was the result of millions of years of tectonic activity and shifting climate. It emerged as an independent, enclosed body of water — no longer connected to the open seas.

Deep Waters, Varied Shores

In some areas, the lake reached depths of over 1,000 meters. Elsewhere, shallower zones supported lagoons, river deltas, and small, isolated lakes. During high water periods, rocky shorelines formed along the mountain fringes — traces of which can still be found today in the Keszthely Hills and the Mecsek Mountains.

The Lake’s Retreat — and Sediment Legacy

Despite its size, the lake was eventually filled in by immense volumes of sediment, carried mainly by rivers flowing from the Alps and the Carpathians. Over the course of 6.5 million years, it gradually disappeared from the landscape.

What did it leave behind?

Its sediments — composed mostly of sand, clay, and fine silt — became the so-called “Pannonian formations,” which today hold key mineral resources (such as petroleum) and aquifers. These formations define much of the surface geology of Transdanubia, including the Zala Hills.

Fertile soils later formed on the laminated silty and clay-rich deposits of the Somló Formation. Even the legendary “Tihany goat’s hoof” fossils — actually worn shell fragments of the Congeria ungulacaprae mollusk — can still be found embedded in these ancient layers.

The Final Lakes and a Gradual Goodbye

Because most of the sediment entered from the northwest, north, and northeast, the lake slowly retreated toward the south and southeast — as if it were “withdrawing” from what is now Hungary.

Small remnant lakes persisted for much longer in areas of present-day Slavonia (Croatia) and northern Serbia, but due to their different scale, character, and fauna, they are not considered true successors of the ancient Pannonian Lake.

About 10,000 years ago, rapid climate warming triggered a cascade of natural responses: torrential floods, landslides, and intense rock weathering. The landscape we walk on today was not shaped over mere centuries, but by the dramatic forces of climate and water, working together. Did you know that the Zala Valley floor is made up of sediments deposited by a kind of "river of time"? Discover how the Earth’s surface became one of the most sensitive indicators of climate change.

Climate Change: Not Just a Modern Phenomenon

We often associate climate change with contemporary issues, but Earth’s climate has shifted many times throughout its history — sometimes quite rapidly. Within large-scale climatic cycles, alternating periods of warming and cooling have long been part of the planet’s natural rhythm.

When Climate Changes, Everything Reacts

A change in climate sets off a chain reaction of environmental processes. It’s not just animals and plants that respond — so does the landscape itself.

Around 10,000 years ago, as the climate warmed significantly, rainfall became more intense.

More rain meant more erosion: stormwater began washing away sediment from hills and valleys into riverbeds. The rivers, now carrying more water and more sediment, flooded more often and spread these materials across the landscape.

Shaping the Terrain

This had a major impact on topography: the land surface became more fragmented and dynamic. Warming temperatures also sped up chemical and physical weathering, breaking down bedrock and helping fertile soil layers to develop.
 In short, natural geological processes that had long been underway suddenly accelerated — and reshaped the surface of the land.

Young Sediments at the Base of the Slopes

Today, in many areas of the region, the lower slopes and valley edges are coated with sediment — debris washed down from higher ground, largely within the last 10,000–20,000 years. In the Zala Valley, for instance, these deposits have spread so far that they now reach the center of the valley floor.

The original bedrock source of these sediments varies: in Zala, it’s typically Pannonian sand (Somló Formation), while in the Keszthely Hills, marine-origin carbonates dominate — mostly dolomite, with some limestone. These sediments now appear as fine gravel, pebbles, or coarse sand, quietly recording the environmental changes of the recent past.

tartalom: + 1 Handmade, all-natural, fruit-packed In a small workshop on Egregyi Wine Hill, gently overlooking Hévíz, Csizmás Syrups are born. Their defining feature? Real fruit, no artificial flavors or sweeteners. László Németh, the founder and creator, wanted to revive the authentic taste of syrups he grew up with — the kind where “raspberry tastes like raspberry.” If you too remember the taste of real, homemade syrup, László’s creations will bring back that countryside nostalgia with every sip. Everything was in place — It just had to begin Gastronomy and hospitality have always been close to László’s heart, having worked in these fields abroad before returning home to Hungary. His family grows fruit in Pankasz, a village in the Őrség region, so when there was surplus fruit, László experimented with making his own raspberry, strawberry, and sour cherry syrups. After much trial and error, the Csizmás Syrup brand was born — and customer feedback quickly confirmed its place in the market. Real fruit, real taste, without compromise. Ingredients from trusted sources Since its founding in 2018, Csizmás Syrup has followed one simple principle: only bottle what László himself would happily consume. Most of the ingredients come from family production: raspberries, strawberries, and sour cherries are grown in Pankasz, Vas County. Elderflowers are foraged by László himself each May, far from roads and pollution. Hemp is grown right behind his workshop on the Egregyi Wine Hill. Traditional craftsmanship, no compromises Every step of the process is done by hand — from milling the fruit to bottling — ensuring the highest quality. Csizmás Syrups are made cold-pressed, without pasteurization or cooking, preserving the fruits’ authentic flavor, color, and vitamin content. The juices retain fruit pulp and seeds, adding body and richness: raspberry seeds remain in the syrup, strawberry bits stay in the juice. The fruit content is impressively high — at least 40%. Only minimal preservatives and just enough sugar are used to achieve the desired taste profile. As László says: “Never skimp on the fruit and work as quickly as possible.” The result is a product that captures nature’s true flavors — no artificial aromas, just lasting, real taste. Real fruit, lasting flavors The product range includes raspberry, strawberry, sour cherry, elderflower, and the unique hemp syrup. The hemp version is lightly herbal, calming, and many enjoy it as a relaxing evening drink. László only releases products he’s personally satisfied with — if a recipe doesn’t meet his high standards, it doesn’t make it to market.   Product highlights Hemp Syrup Hemp syrup is a true rarity, unique in both taste and effect. Made from industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa) grown without chemicals on Egregyi Wine Hill, László harvests the female hemp flowers in autumn and cold-processes them to preserve their valuable active compounds — known for their calming and stress-relieving properties. The syrup’s flavor is gently spiced, refreshingly herbal, and balanced with a hint of lemon. It contains only natural ingredients and a minimal amount of sugar. Perfect as a refreshing drink diluted with water or soda, but many also enjoy it before bedtime for its soothing effects. Serving Tip: For best taste, mix Csizmás Syrup with water or soda in a 1:8 ratio. Where to buy Hévíz Farmers’ Market

lead: Homemade delicacies made from sun-ripened, chemical-free vegetables — straight from the pantry.
tartalom: + 1 A pantry experience from Zala Drying herbs on the terrace, ripe tomatoes in the greenhouse, the scent of fresh jam in the kitchen — Dédi nyomában Biogarden started as a self-sufficiency project, a lifestyle choice rooted in a close connection to nature. It’s a small homestead where everything is made from what the garden yields, just a little more than you would preserve for yourself. And what will you find on the pantry shelves? Vegetable spreads, pickled vegetables, mixed salads, jams, and syrups for sure. Inspired by tradition Szabina’s family comes from the Bakony region. After living in Pilis, she moved to Zala County in 2022, choosing a new path with gardening at its heart — cultivating 4,000 m² of land. Initially experimenting with bio-intensive vegetable farming, she soon realized her true calling was not large-scale production, but crafting small batches of homestead delicacies with care and joy.The greenhouse, crop rotation, chickens, runner ducks, and composting all reflect her mindful approach to farming. Bio-intensive, chemical-free farming Every section of Szabina’s garden serves a purpose, the result of thoughtful planning. Fixed garden beds and a greenhouse are the core, where she practices regular crop rotation, enriches the soil with compost and mulch, and grows most plants from her own collected seeds, adapted to their environment. She uses well water for irrigation. For pest and disease management, she relies on natural methods: companion planting, insect netting, and biological solutions. Ducks and chickens happily assist by controlling snails and pests — no chemicals involved. Open the pantry & explore Szabina’s products include syrups, jams, dried herbs, pickles, and vegetable spreads — all made in small quantities, available seasonally and in varied selection. The charm of Dédi nyomában Biogarden lies in its simplicity: only as much is produced as the garden and nature provide — and only what Szabina herself enjoys making. While the farm’s name evokes old times, Szabina incorporates modern techniques too. She uses a canning machine to preserve syrups and pickles, ensuring shelf life and efficiency. Jams are made with sugar and gelling agents, while syrups and pickles are preserved without chemical additives, using the canning method. Herbs like lemon balm, mint, lavender, rose, and violet are handpicked, dried, and crushed. Vegetable spreads, pestos, and tomato sauces are always processed fresh — and they tend to sell out quickly!   Product highlights Vegetable spread Dédi nyomában Biogarden’s vegetable spreads are always made from whatever the garden currently yields — zucchini, tomatoes, peppers, or eggplant. What’s guaranteed in every jar is the essence of sun-ripened vegetables. Szabina grows her vegetables chemical-free, hand-harvests, chops, steams, or oven-roasts them, seasons to taste, and blends into a creamy, spreadable texture. Flavors change with the seasons and what’s available in the pantry: wild garlic, garlic, fresh herbs, or a mildly spicy kick. Each batch is unique and delicious. The spreads contain no preservatives or additives and are often produced in very limited quantities — sometimes just a few jars. Where to buy Online Store More information & Contact: Facebook

tartalom: + 1 Where happy goats give you cheese, yogurt, and kefir At her small-batch workshop in Cserszegtomaj, Emese Tusz handcrafts cheeses and dairy products without additives, using milk from goats raised on her family farm. What began as a solution to her son’s dietary needs has grown into a beloved craft, allowing many others to enjoy high-quality dairy products again. If you’re looking for clean, pure, and lactose-sensitive-friendly delights — start your tasting journey here. A former German teacher, Emese started experimenting with goat’s milk when her son was diagnosed with dairy protein and lactose intolerance. Her home experiments quickly turned into a passion, then a profession. She completed a two-year dairy processing course in Csermajor and established her own workshop in Cserszegtomaj. Today, her son — who has grown up around goats — also takes part in the daily farm work. For sensitive stomachs and gourmet palates At Emese’s market stall, you’ll find fresh goat cheeses flavored with herbs, aged Jersey cow cheeses, yogurt, kefir, and occasionally butter and cottage cheese — all made with milk from her own farm. Her goat herd currently numbers around 80, with about three-quarters producing milk. All products are made with pasteurized milk, natural rennet, and selected cultures, ensuring a clean, mild flavor with no strong "goaty" taste. Emese cares for her goats with expertise and attention, knowing that healthy, clean animals are key to quality cheese. She uses no additives, flavor enhancers, or preservatives. Each product is made by hand — from shaping the cheese to seasoning it. Emese adapts her recipes daily, responding to the natural variations in milk: “Every day, the milk behaves differently. Its taste, texture, everything changes — you can’t force it into a formula, you have to follow its lead.” Fresh cheeses are often seasoned with smoked paprika or herbs. The yogurt is thick yet silky, while the kefir is light but full-flavored. Aged cheeses offer a deeper, more complex taste profile. Emese also keeps a Jersey cow, whose A2 beta-casein-rich milk broadens her product range — perfect for sensitive customers. Her aged cheeses and limited-edition yogurts often come from this milk, crafted with separate recipes to suit its unique character. Seasonal production Goats naturally begin producing milk after spring births, with milking season typically lasting through autumn. As a result, fresh goat milk products — like cheese, yogurt, and kefir — are only available during certain times of the year. In winter, when the goats rest, production pauses. Only at the market — Always personal You can find Emese’s products exclusively at the Hévíz Farmers’ Market. For her, meeting customers is part of the experience. She loves to talk about her cheeses, her goats, and how everything is made — often sharing pairing tips as well. “If it’s good enough for my son, it’s good enough for anyone.” This simple philosophy sums up what makes Emese’s products so special: they are healthy, natural, delicious — and crafted with honesty, heart, and care.   Product highlights Goat cheeses in a variety of flavors Fresh cheeses, creamy spreads, yogurt, and kefir — all made from milk sourced from Emese’s own goats, crafted with over a decade of experience. Every product is made with pasteurized goat’s milk, natural rennet, and carefully selected cultures. Fresh cheeses are prepared just before market days to guarantee freshness. In addition to plain, natural cheeses, you’ll find exciting flavors: garlic, chili, red onion, fenugreek, chives, and even a dessert cheese with walnuts and cranberries. Emese emphasizes quality and gluten-free safety, using Lukullusz ingredients to ensure her cheeses are safe for gluten-sensitive customers. No additives, no colorings, no preservatives. Smoked varieties are cold-smoked over beechwood, preserving their soft texture and natural aromas. Goat cheese pairs perfectly with a slice of sourdough bread, tossed into a fresh salad, or served alongside crisp apples.

The Life-Giving Winds of the Ice Age: How Loess Shaped the Land

Did you know that Transdanubia’s rich, golden soils are actually a gift from the winds of the Ice Age? Loess isn’t just a dry geological term — it’s an ancient natural recipe that gave rise to some of the most fertile soils in the Carpathian Basin. Where vineyards grow today and birds nest in loess cliffs, strong winds once carried yellow dust across the landscape — for thousands of years. Learn how this unique sediment shaped the land and why loess is still essential for sustainable farming today.

What Is Loess and How Did It Form?

The term loess comes from the German word lose, meaning "loose." Loess is a fine-grained, yellowish sediment that was deposited during the Pleistocene epoch (2.58–0.01 million years ago), particularly during glacial periods. It formed in periglacial environments south of the great Scandinavian ice sheet — cold, dry landscapes with little or no vegetation.

The dust was carried by strong Ice Age winds from floodplains and barren steppes, and slowly accumulated over tens of thousands of years. Eventually, calcium carbonate cemented these layers into loess, which developed characteristic vertical fissures.

It’s important to note that the Pleistocene wasn't a single “Ice Age,” but a period that included alternating cold and warm phases — some even warmer than today.

Loess and the Landscape

Loess gave the Carpathian Basin — especially Transdanubia — its distinct terrain.

Steep loess cliffs (sometimes up to 10 meters high), caves that provide nesting sites for bee-eaters and sand martins, centuries-old sunken roads carved into hillsides, and exposed root systems are all part of the landscape’s geological legacy.

Together, they define the unique character of this region — shaped by time, wind, and stone.

Fertility and Water Retention

Loess-rich areas have produced some of the most fertile soils in the region. Many local producers farm on land that sits atop loess. This creates an excellent foundation for agriculture — not just because of the high humus content, but also because loess has outstanding water-holding capacity. Its vertical pores allow moisture to penetrate deeply and remain in the soil, even during dry periods.

A Modern Echo — Dust from the Sahara

Interestingly, the fine Saharan dust that now reaches Central Europe more frequently can be seen as a modern counterpart to loess-forming material. It’s a reminder that the powerful natural forces that shaped the land long ago are still at work today — just on a different scale.

tartalom: + 1 Artisan chocolate crafted as an artform Did you know that sea buckthorn isn’t just an immune-boosting superfruit, but also pairs beautifully with dark chocolate Gorza Melinda, founder of GM Design Chocolate Atelier, discovered this perfect harmony when she created her sea buckthorn-infused dark chocolate bars and bonbons. But GM Design is more than just a chocolate shop. Melinda’s creativity shines through in pastry competitions, where she regularly wins awards for her artistic chocolate sculptures. Now you can taste her award-winning chocolates too! A childhood dream come true Melinda knew by age nine that she wanted to become a pastry chef. In 2006, she earned her pastry certification and has been honing her skills ever since, especially in chocolate-making. For her, working with chocolate is more than a job — it’s a passion and a form of artistic expression. In 2025, she opened her own workshop and store in Keszthely, GM Design, where she creates handmade chocolates using Belgian couverture. Melinda loves that through chocolate, she can bring a little happiness into people’s everyday lives. To sharpen her skills and fuel her creativity, she regularly competes in pastry contests, particularly in the artistic category — crafting edible chocolate sculptures and lifelike compositions that require weeks of precision and imagination. For true chocolate lovers At GM Design, you’ll find everything a chocolate lover could wish for: filled and unfilled bars, bonbons, chocolate sculptures, chocolate flowers — in a variety of flavors. Melinda creates every product by hand, using premium Belgian chocolate. She never uses cocoa mass substitutes, palm oil, or artificial additives. Her milk chocolate contains 36.5% cocoa, while her dark chocolate boasts 70.5% cocoa content. She handles every step of production herself — from tempering the chocolate to achieve a glossy, crisp finish, to molding bars, bonbons, figurines, and roses. For filled chocolates, she develops her own ganache recipes with seasonal flavors like sour cherry, raspberry, coconut, pistachio, rose, salted caramel — and the most distinctive of all, sea buckthorn. Melinda often decorates her creations with freeze-dried fruits, edible flowers, and nuts. After cooling, the chocolates are packaged — available in gift boxes and special seasonal themes. A real treat is her chocolate-covered dried or fresh fruits, available seasonally. An authentic chocolate experience GM Design is located in downtown Keszthely, just steps from the main square. The cozy shop doubles as an open-view workshop, where visitors can peek into the chocolate-making process. The shop is open Tuesday to Saturday, and Melinda also brings her sweets to the Hévíz Farmers’ Market every Thursday and Saturday.   Product highlights Sea buckthorn filled dark chocolate bar & bonbon Among GM Design’s most exciting creations are the sea buckthorn-filled dark chocolate bar and bonbon. Here, the tartness of sea buckthorn perfectly balances the richness of silky dark chocolate. Made with 70.5% premium Belgian chocolate, these treats feature a refreshing sea buckthorn ganache — offering both a unique taste and a natural vitamin boost. Fun fact: ganache is a silky filling made from chocolate and butter, commonly used in chocolates and pastries. Melinda enhances hers with sea buckthorn purée and ground seeds, giving an added layer of flavor and texture. The sea buckthorn is sourced from a local producer, Kiss Homoktövis farm in Bocfölde, ensuring freshness and traceability.

About 10,000 years ago, rapid climate warming triggered a cascade of natural responses: torrential floods, landslides, and intense rock weathering. The landscape we walk on today was not shaped over mere centuries, but by the dramatic forces of climate and water, working together. Did you know that the Zala Valley floor is made up of sediments deposited by a kind of "river of time"? Discover how the Earth’s surface became one of the most sensitive indicators of climate change.

Climate Change: Not Just a Modern Phenomenon

We often associate climate change with contemporary issues, but Earth’s climate has shifted many times throughout its history — sometimes quite rapidly. Within large-scale climatic cycles, alternating periods of warming and cooling have long been part of the planet’s natural rhythm.

When Climate Changes, Everything Reacts

A change in climate sets off a chain reaction of environmental processes. It’s not just animals and plants that respond — so does the landscape itself.

Around 10,000 years ago, as the climate warmed significantly, rainfall became more intense.

More rain meant more erosion: stormwater began washing away sediment from hills and valleys into riverbeds. The rivers, now carrying more water and more sediment, flooded more often and spread these materials across the landscape.

Shaping the Terrain

This had a major impact on topography: the land surface became more fragmented and dynamic. Warming temperatures also sped up chemical and physical weathering, breaking down bedrock and helping fertile soil layers to develop.
 In short, natural geological processes that had long been underway suddenly accelerated — and reshaped the surface of the land.

Young Sediments at the Base of the Slopes

Today, in many areas of the region, the lower slopes and valley edges are coated with sediment — debris washed down from higher ground, largely within the last 10,000–20,000 years. In the Zala Valley, for instance, these deposits have spread so far that they now reach the center of the valley floor.

The original bedrock source of these sediments varies: in Zala, it’s typically Pannonian sand (Somló Formation), while in the Keszthely Hills, marine-origin carbonates dominate — mostly dolomite, with some limestone. These sediments now appear as fine gravel, pebbles, or coarse sand, quietly recording the environmental changes of the recent past.

tartalom: + 1 Beef specialties from Csáford Berkovics-Tarsoly Lídia has combined family heritage with accounting precision to build her small-scale operation, where every meat product reflects genuine care and expertise. There are no additives, no shortcuts—only natural ingredients, time, and attention. Thanks to their nature-friendly livestock farming, Lídia creates products that are flavorful on their own. A visit to their farm introduces you to a family who treats their animals with deep respect. Come and taste their authentic flavors! Back to the roots Lídia grew up immersed in farming life. Her father raised cattle and processed meat, so slaughtering, feeding, and all aspects of animal husbandry were part of her everyday world. Spending time alongside her father, she learned first-hand what it means to raise animals responsibly, process meat, and create quality food. Although she studied accounting and initially worked in that field, she soon found her way back to farming. What started as a hobby—raising cattle for family use—soon grew into a business. Today, she runs her own farm, guided by the knowledge passed down from her father. Respect for animals shows in product quality At Lídrind Porta, animals live in free-range conditions, grazing along the banks of the Zala River. Their well-being directly impacts the quality of the meat. The family also grows their own feed, ensuring complete control over what goes into their products. Their goal: to raise healthy, well-cared-for animals that provide high-quality meat for their handcrafted products. Butchering, cutting, curing, and smoking are all done by hand at their small-scale facility in Csáford. Natural beef specialties LídRind Porta's signature products include smoked beef ham, sausage, and salami. They have also expanded into pork products and offer fresh farm eggs. A recent specialty is their basturma—a spiced, air-dried beef rolled in an aromatic herb crust. Served with sourdough bread and homemade cheese, it’s a true delicacy. Lídia follows a natural approach not only in animal husbandry but also in meat processing. Preservation is done simply with salt, deliberately avoiding nitrites, artificial colors, and fast-curing methods. Smoking is carried out with acacia and beech wood. Hams are cured slowly, developing their distinct flavors and textures naturally—unlike industrial products where shortcuts are the norm. Seasonings are made from natural ingredients, often home-grown, such as paprika for their spicy salami and juniper berries for unique flavor profiles. Farm-to-table on the Csáford Vineyard At Lídrind Porta, you’re not only welcome to buy their products—you can taste them right on the farm. Their countryside dining experience includes generous cold platters, hearty hot dishes, and homemade desserts, like traditional Zala-style pork fat pastries. The heart of their hospitality lies in sharing good food and memorable experiences. A visit to Lídrind Porta offers more than a meal; it’s an invitation into the world of small-scale farming, meat processing, and artisanal production. Visits are by appointment, so be sure to book ahead by phone.   Product highlights Smoked beef ham & sausage LídRind Porta’s beef sausage and smoked ham are crafted for those who appreciate traditional flavors and pure ingredients. Made from free-range, home-raised cattle, the sausages are seasoned with classic spices—paprika, garlic, pepper, and salt—without any artificial additives. They are hand-stuffed into natural casings and smoked over beech and acacia wood. The smoked beef ham undergoes a long, cold-smoking process and is preserved using only natural salt. Cuts such as thigh, shoulder, and neck are cured individually for optimal flavor and texture. Slow curing and gentle smoking give LídRind Porta products their distinct character. No preservatives, colorants, or fast-cure methods are used.   Where to Find LídRind Porta: 8795 Zalaszentgrót, W3G9+37 Google Maps More information & Contact: Facebook Phone: +36 30 792 2968

Did you know the Zala River once flowed into the Drava and only later “found” Lake Balaton?
 The history of western Hungary’s water systems is not just a fascinating geological puzzle — it reads like an epic of Earth history: riverbeds shift, rivers “consume” one another, and even Lake Balaton doesn’t enter the scene until the final chapter. Discover how nature reshaped this landscape stroke by stroke — and how the Zala became Balaton’s most vital source of water.

The Quaternary Period and the Power of Landscape Formation

What sets the Quaternary Period (2.58 million years ago to the present) apart from earlier geological epochs is that the surface-shaping processes of this time — and the landforms they produced — continue to define our geographic environment today.

Pleistocene Changes: Riverbed Migrations and Terraces

One of the most pivotal surface processes during the Pleistocene (2.58 to 0.01 million years ago) was the migration of riverbeds and the formation of terraces and alluvial fans. These changes were closely tied to the slow retreat of the Pannonian Lake, which once filled much of the Carpathian Basin (see also: The Legacy of the Ancient Pannonian Lake).

The Ancient Danube Moves West

The early Danube initially flowed westward across what is now western Hungary, draining into the retreating Pannonian Lake. This westward course likely remained until the early Pleistocene.

A River’s Great Turning Point

The most dramatic hydrological change in the Carpathian Basin occurred between the Pliocene and Pleistocene: the formation of the Danube’s Visegrád Gorge (today’s Danube Bend), which diverted the river toward the center of the country and what is now the Pest Plain.

This shift profoundly affected all its former western tributaries — including the Zala.

The Story of the Zala: Migration and Capture

The river system of Central Transdanubia evolved in surprising ways, and the Zala’s journey is one of its most remarkable chapters. The Rába River already flowed northeastward toward the Little Hungarian Plain. The ancient Marcal, running northward, flowed into the Rába — and into it, in turn, flowed the ancient Zala.

But nature redrew the map — using the Zala as its brush. A now-vanished river flowing from north to south (its remnants visible today between Zalaszentgrót and Zalavár) cut into the landscape through a process called headward erosion — where rivers erode backward into the terrain, much like a hot knife slicing through butter. Eventually, it cut into the ancient Zala’s valley and “captured” the river, diverting it into its own course.

A New Path — and the Birth of Lake Balaton

From then on, the Zala made a sharp turn south at Türje and — with no Lake Balaton yet in existence — initially emptied into the Drava. Later, as the depression that would one day become Lake Balaton deepened, the Zala was gradually drawn toward it.

Lake Balaton, as a continuous body of water, is only about 5,000 years old — but for millions of years before, the Zala had already been on a winding journey that ultimately made it Balaton’s primary source of water, and the most life-giving river in the region today.
