cím: The best beaches next to Hévíz

lead:

tartalom: + 1 Beach on the shores of Lake Hévíz Lake Hévíz is primarily a medicinal lake, where swimming is not recommended for children but in order to meet the needs of all guests, on the shore of the lake, a normal, heated pool with several depths and fun elements has been established. Shade sails have also been set up to protect against the strong sun. Large beaches with lots of play facilities and activities at the western tip of Lake Balaton Keszthely Municipal Beach is located in the bay of Keszthely next to the pier. Its attractions include the Balaton-shaped swimming pool and the very picturesque Island Baths, reminiscent of the Happy Peacetimes. Concerts of popular music are held on the beach in summer evenings. The Diás Play Beach in Gyenesdiás wins the title of the best child-friendly beach around Lake Balaton every year. The beach, rich in adventure elements and programme opportunities, is the most popular beach for families with children at Lake Balaton. The popularity of the Lido Beach in Vonyarcvashegy has been continuing for many decades. The most special feature of the long and shady beach is the water-skiing track, which is very popular with young people. Balatongyörök beach - The 120-metre-long sandy beach is a paradise for kids fond of building sandcastles. The beach area not only has a giant water slide but also a wide range of water vehicles for hire. In 2018, it won the Greenest Beach of Lake Balaton award. Smaller family-friendly, quiet beaches For those who don't mind that the beach experience is not complemented by animation programmes, special slides, fun elements, age-specific playgrounds and a large selection of buffets, the Libás Beach in Keszthely and the Lido Beach in Gyenesdiás are the ideal choices. Dog Beach in Keszthely If you would like to go to the beach with your pet, you can choose Keszthely Dog Beach. Here you can enjoy the summer beach experience in a dog-friendly environment. If you are looking for a place in Hévíz where your dog can also have a splash, we recommend the Hévíz Stream. You can even combine dog swimming with an easy evening walk. In the stream, your dog can also experience the pleasantly refreshing thermal water. Water Parks of Kehida and Zalakaros For those who would like to visit an adventure bath during their holiday, we recommend the Kehida Thermal Spa and Adventure Bath or the Zalakaros Bath. Both baths have outdoor and indoor pools, hot and thermal pools, swimming pools and a slide park.

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.

tartalom: + 1 There is no shortage of trees and pools in Hévíz. Everyone can choose from a number of options according to their own needs. IF YOU ARE ALREADY HERE, DON'T LEAVE HÉVÍZ WITHOUT THIS!

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.

lead: On July 12, 2025, the new community space in Hévíz was opened, which can be used again by residents and guests arriving in the city after 5 years of closure. At the closing ceremony of the project, speeches were given by Bálint Nagy, Member of Parliament, and Péter Naszádos, Mayor of Hévíz. The Hévíz Tiszta Forrás Dalkör, folk dancers from the Illyés Gyula Elementary and Art School, and musician Szeverin Tislerics gave a festive program.

tartalom: + 1 Hévíz has been waiting for the worthy conclusion of the investment for a long time The matter of the old bus stop and the investment in the area of Kölcsey Street has been dragging on in the spa town for many years. As Bálint Nagy, Member of Parliament and Secretary of State for Transport, said at the closing ceremony of the project: the process started in 2019, with the announcement of the then winning GINOP tender, and it just came to an end this weekend. The government then approved the Hévíz development project with a grant of 1.2 billion forints, with the aim of creating a central square worthy of the city's reputation and tourist role near the Lake Spa. However, the implementation did not go according to plan. The work process was slowed down and made more difficult by several factors. In recent years, it has been necessary to modify both the professional content and the budget of the original plans on several occasions. Over the years, the demands of residents, guests and entrepreneurs for a dignified conclusion to the protracted works have increased. Member of Parliament Bálint Nagy highlighted: The Hévíz main square project is an excellent example of how, if there is truly a common will and true cooperation, even the most impossible situations can be solved. This positive example of cooperation also gives hope that the Lake Spa developments that will soon be launched will also be successful.   In his speech, Péter Naszádos, Mayor of Hévíz, emphasized the power of cooperation and joint work. The municipality considers the implementation of this very important investment for the city as a victory, as well as the fact that the city has closed six tenders from state, EU and its own sources in the past 9 months. The aim of the development was to create a livable, modern, community and tourist-valuable environment in Hévíz. Fountain, spacious square, elegant paving and vegetation The municipality terminated the contract with the previous contractor of the now handed over square in 2023. The new public procurement - which took place in three months - was won by the local Possibuild Kft. The investment, which was launched from EU funds, ultimately had to be supplemented with government support. As part of the works, the old bus station building was demolished, and an event space was created in its place with a fountain, sculptures, green islands, street furniture and bicycle racks. The square was equipped with a music pavilion and technical structures that will enable the holding of larger events and festivals. The work of the Munkácsy Award-winning sculptor Ferenc Farkas, a pair of full-length bronze statues depicting Count György I. Festetics and Count György II. Festetics, has been placed in front of the summer entrance to the Hévíz Lake Baths.   In order to shade the event space, solar sails will be installed in the near future. The new event space in Hévíz will have a festival atmosphere on the first weekend! To the delight of the residents and guests, the city of Hévíz is organizing a large-scale “space-occupying” festival titled “The Space Belongs to Us!”. On the morning of July 18, professional performances will be held in the Town Hall’s Ceremonial Hall, and various outdoor exhibitions will be on display on the square. In the evening, a BIKINI concert, laser and light show, and DJ Belo await guests looking to have fun and/or get nostalgic in the area of the former bus stop and Rizling Platz. The concerts will continue on Saturday and Sunday. There will be music, rock ballet, soloists and even a folklore show. The event will be accompanied by a food and craft fair on all three days.

tartalom: + 1 More Than Dentistry – Creativity in the Making of the Perfect Smile Although dentistry is often associated solely with precision and technology, Gelencsér Dental firmly believes that creativity and aesthetic vision are just as essential as engineering accuracy when designing a smile. Treatment is not merely a medical procedure – it can be a creative process, where expertise meets artistic execution to achieve perfect harmony between function and aesthetics. International Recognition at the Heart of Hévíz The Superbrands title cannot be applied for – it is awarded through professional nomination and a strict, multi-stage evaluation process. A forty-member independent panel of experts assesses the brand’s reliability, stability, market performance and consumer perception. The core message of the 2024 gala was: “Creativity is the art of everyday life.” This philosophy reflects perfectly the approach Gelencsér Dental has been pursuing for decades in Hévíz: providing not only healthcare, but enhancing quality of life and creating lasting value. A Recognition for the Whole Team From dentists to assistants, dental technicians and support staff – every team member works with unwavering dedication and professional excellence. This award is a well-deserved acknowledgement of their long-term commitment to patients. The clinic extends its sincere gratitude: to its colleagues, whose dedication made this success possible, to its partners, for their long-standing cooperation, and most importantly, to its patients – because in healthcare, trust is the most valuable currency. “When someone sits in the dental chair, they entrust us not only with their teeth, but also with their confidence.” A Model for Hévíz The town of Hévíz is proud of its local providers who combine innovation, expertise and human value, contributing to the region’s reputation and the development of health tourism. Gelencsér Dental’s Superbrands recognition is not only a confirmation of past achievements, but also an inspiration for the future. Congratulations to the entire Gelencsér Dental team!

cím: Winter wellness tips for seniors in Hévíz

lead: When winter arrives in Hévíz, relaxation takes on a whole new meaning. Warm thermal waters, gentle wellness treatments, and a peaceful atmosphere create the perfect setting for rest and regeneration. For senior guests, Hévíz in winter offers a unique balance of comfort, health, and tranquility.

tartalom: + 1 There is something truly magical about winter arriving in Hévíz. The air turns crisp, steam rises from the lake, and the town slows down a little… and that is exactly what makes it so special. For senior visitors, Hévíz becomes one of the most relaxing destinations at this time of year: warm thermal waters, peaceful walks, and wellness in every form. Here are a few tips on how to make the most of a winter getaway in Hévíz! 1. Steaming thermal water – winter at its best If there is one place where winter and wellness are a perfect match, it is Lake Hévíz. The contrast between the warm water and the chilly air is relaxation in itself. Bathing sessions of 20–30 minutes are ideal in winter: they warm the body, ease muscle tension, and are gentle on the joints. Tip: In the morning, the lake is even calmer and more peaceful, creating a truly intimate atmosphere. 2. Winter spa treatments – when your body warms up too Winter is especially beneficial for warm therapeutic treatments. At this time of year, massages, mud therapies, and weight bath treatments somehow feel even more effective. Among senior guests, favorites include pleasantly warm medicinal mud that helps the body relax, indoor physiotherapy sessions led by experienced professionals, and underwater massage for those seeking a little extra pampering. A multi-day spa treatment can work wonders, especially for joints tired from the winter cold. 3. Indoor wellness – when you feel like staying inside all day Hévíz’s wellness hotels are a true refuge in winter as well: adventure pools, whirlpools, steam cabins, infrared saunas – everything you need for a comfortable, relaxing day indoors. Especially recommended for senior guests: Infrared sauna, as it provides gentle, joint-friendly warmth Steam cabin, ideal if the dry winter air irritates the respiratory system Quiet relaxation pools – in many hotels, mornings feel almost like having the place to yourself 4. Pampering in a winter atmosphere: Quiet wellness – aromatherapy and relaxation In winter, Hévíz seems to have a different scent: more spicy, calmer, more cozy. This atmosphere pairs perfectly with seasonal wellness treatments: lavender or citrus aromatherapy circulation-boosting foot massage hydrating facial treatments to protect the skin from the cold Each treatment feels a bit like a mini wellness celebration. 5. Sauna, done wisely – gentle yet refreshing In winter, the sauna can feel like paradise, but it’s important to enjoy it the right way. A senior-friendly approach: start with an infrared sauna if you choose a Finnish sauna, stay for 6–8 minutes skip the ice plunge – a lukewarm shower is enough rest for a while before returning The secret is a slow, calm rhythm. 6. Staying active in winter – gently and safely Instead of long walks, winter is the perfect time for softer, joint-friendly forms of movement: water gymnastics in an indoor pool gentle or modified yoga spine-strengthening exercises a short, easy walk around the lake on flat terrain 7. Short winter walks – when the town shows a completely different side In winter, the steaming waters of the Hévíz Stream turn the town into an almost fairytale-like setting. As the warm water meets the cold air, a delicate mist settles above the stream, making every walk a special experience. The walkways around the lake are easy to stroll along even in winter, and thanks to the unique microclimate, it is often warmer here than in other parts of the town. Not only the steaming stream is a breathtaking sight – Hévíz’s built heritage is equally charming in the winter season. Recommended pace: shorter walks with frequent breaks. The steaming water, quiet streets, and slow rhythm create a truly idyllic winter atmosphere. 8. Winter cultural moments – warm indoors, magical scenery outside Hévíz offers plenty of cultural experiences even in winter, all comfortably enjoyable despite the cold. If you feel like taking a break from wellness, the season invites you to cozy indoor programs such as exhibitions, local concerts, charming cafés, and of course Hévíz’s cultural events. Current programs This combination of wellness + culture works especially well for senior guests, offering relaxation and inspiration in perfect balance. 9. Light winter dishes – warm yourself from the inside, too Hévíz restaurants offer plenty of winter dishes that are warm yet easy to digest. Hot soups, light fish dishes, vegetable-based meals, and steaming poultry specialties are especially comforting during the colder months. Local restaurants usually pay special attention to wellness guests, offering lighter menu options as well. Many places in Hévíz also provide sugar-free, lactose-free, and light alternatives. Tip: It’s worth choosing lighter meals made from local ingredients. And after a good lunch, it’s time for a relaxing afternoon rest! Hévíz is at its most intimate in winter – the perfect place if you’re looking for physical and mental renewal. Snow-covered Hévíz is quiet, cozy, and deeply restorative at the same time. The warm thermal water, healing treatments, indoor wellness facilities, and atmospheric winter walks create a combination from which senior guests can benefit especially well. And one thing is certain: those who experience the “winter Hévíz feeling” once often become returning visitors.

cím: Hévíz a GyógyíTó

lead: When healing becomes a board game

tartalom: + 1 There are board games that simply entertain. And then there are those that also offer an experience, a memory, and an emotion. Hévíz a GyógyíTó is exactly that kind of game: a light-hearted, laughter-filled board game that playfully introduces the world of healing in Hévíz. We asked Beáta Süténé Tüttő about this fantastic and unique board game. Basics – what is the game about? What is the name of the game, and what kind of atmosphere does it promise at first glance? The name of the game is Hévíz a GyógyíTó. Even the title suggests relaxation, healing, and a touch of playful humor – exactly the kind of atmosphere that characterizes the town of Hévíz and the unique world of Lake Hévíz. What is the story and theme of the game? The game is based on the healing treatments carried out at Lake Hévíz and at various locations throughout the town, such as therapies for musculoskeletal conditions and rehabilitation after injuries. As players move across the board, they take part in elements of the traditional healing cure: bathing in the lake, mud treatments, weight bath therapy, and other complementary treatments. In this way, the game presents the complex therapeutic packages of Hévíz in a playful format. Who is the game recommended for? It is an excellent choice as a gift, a souvenir, for winter evenings, or for family and friends’ gatherings. Recommended from the age of 16 for anyone who enjoys light, cheerful board games. Where is it available and how much does it cost? The price of the game is 8,000 HUF, and the proceeds are used for charitable purposes. Soon it will also be available at the Hévíz Tourinform Office with game rules in English, German, and Russian. Will there be a sequel? Yes! By Christmas 2026, a children’s board game titled “The Wildlife of Lake Hévíz” is planned, and work on it has already begun.   Technical basics of the game How many players can play? Minimum 2, maximum 8 players. How many spaces are on the board? There are a total of 59 spaces, 25 of which include tasks. Gameplay – what does it feel like to play? Is it easy to learn the rules? Yes, very easy. The rules are quick to understand and do not require long explanations. How long does one game take? Approximately 15–20 minutes, so several rounds can fit into one evening. What type of game is it? It is entirely luck-based, requiring no strategic thinking – which makes it relaxing and stress-free. Is there cooperation or competition? The goal is the same for every player: to reach the finish line, in other words, to heal. If only two people are playing, it is recommended to use a special die that includes only the numbers 1 and 2. Experience factor – what does the game offer? What emotions does it evoke during play? Lots of laughter. It is a light, cheerful game that brings relaxation rather than tension. What kind of conversations does it inspire? Those who have already taken part in real Hévíz treatments often relive their experiences, share stories, and recall memories. Is it replayable? Yes, very much so. Players do not land on task spaces in every game, so each round offers a slightly different experience. Design and quality Who created the game? The questions and gameplay were designed by Beáta Tüttő. The graphics were created by Nóra Aradvári, and the prototype player figures were designed by Liza Hanna Szegődi. Both creators have mothers who work at the spa hospital, which makes their emotional connection to the game even stronger. What is the quality of the game components like? The board, figures, and all other elements are of excellent quality and a pleasure to handle. Strengths and unique features What truly sets the game apart? Its unique, hand-crafted graphics and the fact that it is connected to a real place and the world of Hévíz’s healing treatments. Personal experience Why would you play it again? Because it feels good to relax and heal at the lake – even when I cannot be there in person, only in my imagination. Summary For what occasions is this board game ideal? Family evenings, gatherings with friends, holidays, gifts, or even as a way to get into the mood before traveling. Who would you wholeheartedly recommend it to? All board game enthusiasts aged 16 and over. In one sentence: why is it worth trying? For the experience of Hévíz’s healing, relaxation, and unique atmosphere.
