tartalom: + 1 The world of the wine cellars in Egregy Egregy is a particular part of the town which has a unique atmosphere. The wine cellars and the wine hill – the so-called “Grinzing” of Egregy – of the town which attracts guests themselves, is an extremely popular restaurant area in the green belt, offering heavy wines and Hungarian food. The guests may taste the specialties of Hungarian cuisine that are already famous beyond the borders of the country, as well as the “snack” offered by the local wine producers: fresh lard bread with paprika and onions. Egregy, which is located 1,500 meters from the town centre, was an independent part of the town for a long time, and still preserves its village-like atmosphere even today. Refreshed after the bath treatment, almost all the guests of Lake Hévíz visit Egregy once at least during their stay here, and while listening to the story-telling of frequent visitors, they also take a liking for the local specialties and the pleasant wines. You may access to the place on foot walking along the vineyard past the 12th-century church from the Árpád-dynasty, or by Dotto train starting from the town centre. The wine cellars of Egregy consist of two little streets; it is worth walking in all the streets around and visiting some of the cellars depending on your taste. In the summer you may hear Gypsy music coming from the cellars, trying to attract visitors walking in the streets. Yield to temptation! Clink your glasses to your health and Hévíz as well! Wine tastings are organized regularly in the following restaurants: Macchiato Caffe Korona Pension ***Restaurant Roman Cellar Restaurant Vilmos Cellar Rezi Weinhouse - Strázsai Cellar Premium Wine Tasting - until 30. August Did you know that wine has healing effects? It is largely due to alcohol, which increases the level of HDL cholesterol and decreases that of LDL cholesterol? consuming 1 to 2 glasses of wine (red wine) daily reduces the risk of heart disease? senile dementia can be delayed or prevented by drinking wine? the compounds of red grapes’ skin contain blood-thinning flavonoids, which also reduce the level of cholesterol?   The wine of the year 2013 is Bussay Winery’s fancy named wine: ESKÜVÉ. The wine of the vintage of 2011 is produced by cross-fertilizing Welschriesling and Rhine Riesling. It is harvested with high sugar content and aged in wooden barrels.

Veal ragout with cream and vegetables and dödölle of Zala Mayer Tibor and Veress Ferenc Chef's recommendation, from Hunguest Hotels   Ingredients (4 servings) 1/2 kg veal round 1/2 kg porcini mushrooms 2 cloves of garlic 1,5 dl dry white wine 2 dl vegetable broth 2 dl cream salt freshly ground black pepper 1 bunch of parsley 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons olive oil Preparation1. Heat the mixture of butter and olive oil and fry the veal cut into small but equal sized pieces, seasoned with salt and pepper in advance, and the finely chopped parsley and garlic.2.If every side of the meat cubes turned brown, pour the white wine and half of the vegetable broth. Cook over medium heat and half-covered until almost tender. Check it sometimes and pour some broth in it if it is not enough.3.

Dödölle of Zala2 kg potatoes, salt according to taste, 2 onions 2 dl oil, 50 decagram flour This meal evokes my childhood, the free, barefoot summer times. My grandmother made it for me, whenever I wanted to. It is cheap, fast and very filling food. At the end of the month it stands everyone in good stead. Peel the potatoes cut them into small pieces, pour salty water over them to cover and cook them. Mash the cooked potatoes over the heat then sprinkle with flour and start to knead with a wooden spoon. It is a bit tiring procedure. It is OK if the batter is hard enough and the flour is completely worked off – it can be more or less, it depends on the quality of the potatoes- and our forehead is sweating. Turn off the cooker.Cut the onions into small cubes and fry them in oil until pink. Take a bigger pot and start to cut the ‘dödölle’ batter into big dumpling-shapes, then sprinkle with the onion and fat. If it is ready, serve it. It is very delicious freshly with sour cream, but if you have to warm it, fry it in a pan until it is crispy and serve it with some salad.

Pedestrian Zone The entire length of Rákóczi Street is a pedestrian zone. This street connects Széchenyi Street (which is the main street) with Dr. Schulhof Vilmos Promenade. The Tourinform Office is located at the beginning of Rákóczi Street. If you are coming from Széchenyi Street you will find the Office is on your right. The tourist information office is open all year round and offers programs in the area and tourist information for the visitors. The office also provides internet facilities and bicycle rental services. If you carry on down Rákóczi Street towards the thermal bath it is worth looking at the buildings hiding behind the trees among boutiques, cafeterias and ice cream parlours. The pedestrian zone is bordered by villas built in the 1920s, which are nowadays - after significant restoration works-  accommodate apartments and cafeterias. Fontana Motion Picture Theatre (Fontana Filmszínház) is located half way down Rákóczi Street and opposite the id. Dr. Moll Károly Square with a fountain and the full size bronze statue of Károly Moll. Károly Moll is the „father” of weight bath, which he developed in Hévíz in the 1950s. The building of the Indoor bath is situated at the end of the street. The Therapeutic Centre (Terápiás Centrum) was handed over in 1968, which is nick-named by the locals as the winter bath. It was reconstructed in 2004 and there are plans to extend and further develop the building in the near future. We can view the Pantheon on the external wall of the building, and in the foyer the Jupiter stone is exhibited, which proves that people were living in this area already 2000 years ago. Look around in our 3D tour! Building of the City-hall The new building of the city-hall is located at the Kossuth Lajos street, it was constructed between 1998 and 1999 on the place of the former town-house. It was inaugurated on September 9th, 1999. The building is one of the important eyemarks of Heviz; it was built in 1950, and in 1997 the renovation was started behind the former town-hall. On January 31st, 1998 Bertalan Farkas, the first astronaut of Hungary and the mayor laid the foundation stone. The plans were prepared by Laszlo Benczur and Peter Takacs, under the co-ordination of Peter Reinholz Kossuth Prize-winning architect. The Building-trade Company of Zala county was implementing it. The useful floor-space of the building is 3367 m2. The office of the local government is located in the building, its employees receive the clients every working day. The southern side wing includes a conference and theatre hall for 200 persons, this facility serves not only the meetings of the city, but all other scientific and cultural events. Look around in our 3D tour! Art Cinema The official name of Hévíz Art Cinema is Fontana Filmszínház (Fontana Motion Picture Theatre). The Motion Picture Theatre has a projection room for 130 people, which was renovated in 2015. Recently new digital technology equipment has been installed ensuring up-to-date video and sound quality. Cafeterias The buildings located next to the main car park in Széchenyi Street are called „the row of cafeterias”.If you approach Hévíz from the direction of Lake Balaton, turn right at the first crossing to Széchenyi Street, and after passing the forest belt you can already see the cafeterias. If you fancy a tasty “lángos” (fried dough) or a grilled sausage, here you can find what you are looking for from the wide choice of delicacies offered by the best buffets. If you prefer a traditional dinner or lunch, don’t hesitate to treat yourself in one of the many restaurants of town. You can purchase Hévíz gifts and the must have swimming aid during your holiday at the gift shops located in between the cafeterias. Life music and entertainment programmes are also offered to the tourists in the evenings. Look around in our 3D tour! Egregy Wine Cellars The Egregy part of Hévíz town is famous for its gastronomic delicacies. From downtown you can access the wine cellars in 25 minutes on foot. On your way you will pass Jesus’ Heart Church (Jézus szíve templom) at the end of Zrínyi Street or you can visit the Roman excavation site at the end of Attila Street. In the evenings the wine cellars and restaurants built in between the rows of vines are magnets for the guests of the town. This is a great place for the guests - exhausted after bathing – to charge up with a nice dinner or enjoy a wine tasting event while listening to live music. Restaurants offer not only traditional Hungarian specialties, but also international dishes on their open air terraces or in the cosy wine cellars. If you carry on down Dombföldi Street among the wine cellars, you can reach the Arpadian Age Church, which is one the most beautiful built cultural heritage of Hévíz. Look around in our 3D tour! Cherubs The main entrance of the lake is guarded by two cherubs, which were made on behalf of the Festetics family at the turn of the 19th and 20th century and they are very similar to the Zsolnay family’s cherubs in Pécs. The dragon made of a lion and an eagle can also be found on Hévíz’s official coat of arms. The cherubs served the gods in the mythology of the ancient Semite folks. They stood in front of the gates and kept away the demons. Their images were engraved in the stones of kings’ palace gates or church gates, most likely that is why the Festetics family had them made as well.  According to the legend, if someone walks through between two cherubs without love in the heart, the cherubs start speaking. According to another storyteller not the cherubs but the copper rooster placed on one of the towers of the baths starts speaking, if someone leaves the town without love. But there has never been a precedent for this.    There are several artworks in the public places of the town; you can see a statue or sculpture nearly in every street, most of them were created by the famous sculptor, László Marton. In the park of the Lake Spa, known as Hévíz Statue Park, there is a group of statues including the busts of three outstanding figures of Hungarian literature: bust of Zsigmond Móricz (created by László Kutas), Mihály Csokonai Vitéz ( by József Rátonyi) and Dániel Berzsenyi (by Tibor Riger). You can see 13 memorial tablets placed on the wall of the Winter Spa to commemorate the most famous visitors of the Spa.
