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. In the meantime clean the mushrooms, cut them and add them when the meat is almost ready. Pour in the remaining vegetable broth and cook it until it is ready. 4.

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.

lead: Learn about the most important wellness treatments

tartalom: + 1 To evolve a conscious lifestyle is necessary to carry about the body, nut just the soul. The wellness treatments can help you a lot.We collected the most important wellness treatments, cure types for you. Acupressure Acupuncture Anti-aging Aquarobic Aroma light-therapy Ayurveda Balneotherapy Caldarium Fango Jacuzzi Jogging Chinese massage Cleopatra-bath Kneipp steps Laconium Lomi Lomi Nui Lymphatic massage Qi-Gong Paraffin treatment Shiatsu Step Aerobic Stretching Sole massage Thai massage Thalassotherapy Yumeiho   Acupressure In the course of the acupressure, the particular points of the body are massaged with finger pads or nails. As a result, the direction and the intensity of the flow of the chi, that is a vital force, in the meridians will be restored to the normal and healthy channel. Acupuncture Human has around 360 main acupuncture points, and through these points, certain disorders of the body may be stopped by using acupuncture needles. The acupuncture is quite effective against pains and it also stimulates blood flow, stabilizes circulation, increases the body energy level and improves the general state of health. Anti-agingIt comprises treatments which help you remain fit and young, including stress relief, exercise therapy, beautician techniques, change of eating habits, vitalizing substances, brain training, change of lifestyle, and many others. AquarobicIt is gymnastics performed in water and accompanied with instructions and mostly with music, which is protective to joints but it is also featured of training and massage as it requires force against the water pressure. Aroma light-therapyIt is not the scent what is primarily used in aroma-therapy treatments but the volatile oil extracted out of plants. Volatile oils have certain components that get locally active within the body and perform only a secondary effect through smelling.With lighting during the light therapy colored light penetrates deep into the skin so that to stimulate the positive reactions of the cells to everyday complaints and mental disorders. AyurvedaThe Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine and philosophy at the same time, which aims at the individual instead of the treatment of disease or symptoms by consideration and comparison of the individual habitus, climate, the seasons of the year and parts of the day, lifestyle, diet and many other aspects. BalneotherapyThis is a kind of treatment with medicinal water or so-called thermal mineral water not classified as medicinal water yet. It comprises drinking cure with such waters, inhalation, mud treatment, carbonated baths, and medicinal baths. CaldariumThis is one of the facilities used in Roman baths, which means hot water bathroom. The caldarium, usually tiled or covered with marble, in which people usually stay for 30 to 40 minutes, poses less burden on human organism than a sauna due to the lower temperatures (40-50 °C) and the humidity of the air (70-100%). FangoMud pack from ground volcanic rock is applied to a certain part or the whole of the body. Fango is capable of holding heat for a long period, rich in minerals and free of organic substances. It has been used for the treatment of rheumatism for centuries, and it is also used for beautician purposes. JacuzziThe water-jets directed to the particular points of the body and the massage promotes full relaxation. Due to the intensified blood circulation your body will get more oxygen so you’ll feel fit. The pores of skin get larger and due to the intensified blood circulation, your skin will be purified from toxins. As a result, the skin will be firmer and more elastic. JoggingJogging combines all the benefits of walking; it conditions the heart, improves muscle tone and strength, relieves stress, and can help with a variety of health problems, such as osteoporosis, heart disease and arthritis. Chinese massageThe Chinese massage may be considered as a kind of acupuncture combined with stretching. The massage may consist of various parts. It may refer to the spine massage and the Chinese head massage aiming at the head and neck. During the massage, the acupuncture points are treated as well. The Chinese massage also includes the stretching of muscles or joints. Cleopatra-bath Cleopatra, the Egyptian Queen did her best to fight ageism; she tried to make her skin soft and healthy by having a bath with donkey milk in it. The beauty care products named after her suggest having a bath with a mixture of milk and vegetable oil. These products are based on the conditioning and nourishing effects that milk and vegetable oils have on the skin. Kneipp stepsYou tread cold water stepping on pebbles placed on the bottom of a tub while walking around. The legs are lifted out of the tub at every step so that the cold water and the warm air will provide the contrasting bath character. The pebbles gently massage the reflex zones of the soles initiating a certain regulatory process. LaconiumIt is a cool version of the Finnish sauna. The temperature may not exceed 55 C° and the degree of humidity is insignificant. It enhances congestion and supports the immune system. Lomi Lomi NuiThis traditional Polynesian massage is one of the most pampering therapies of the Hawaiian kahunas. The massage starts by rubbing the body with “ti” leaves, and the body is heated with hot stones. Then while the lomi-lomi masseur is dancing with traditional dance-steps, imitating the steps of a frigate bird, around the nearly naked body of the patient, lying on the massage bench, he is giving the treatment, which means soft smoothing and kneading motions of the pad of his/her forearm and palm. Finally, he/she completes the massage with a ritual ablution of the body. Lymphatic massageThis is a special kind of massage that makes lymph fluid drain away. The lymph flow may be stimulated along the lymph vessel by smoothing with gentle pressure, thus the tissues may be purified from the roughage. As a result, the skin becomes cleaner, better supplied with blood and firmer. This massage activates the immune system, promotes the recovery of the cells and tissues and reduces the susceptibility to inflammation. It is highly recommended as an additional treatment to detox cures. Qi-GongIt is a generic term to mean a wide range of heath-preserving practices. This ancient method combines the mental concentration, breathing technique and physical exercise so as to enhance and maintain your vital energy. The technique requires regular practice but it is easy to acquire for any age group depending on the fitness level of the individual. Paraffin treatmentAfter smearing your skin with thermo cream you should apply the heated paraffin, which will harden on your body. This will temporarily hinder the skin respiration promoting the absorption of the cream full of effective substances. The paraffin pack contains alga, which is a fat-dissolving agent with high iodine content. It makes skin spectacularly firm, smooth and velvety. ShiatsuShiatsu is based on the ancient Japanese medicine and philosophy, but it has also been affected by the modern western medicine. It is suitable for preventing diseases, locomotor and mental disorders or just for a pleasant sensual and spiritual journey in the universe of your inner self. According to the Taoist philosophy the energy – prana, qi or chi – flows continuously both in the universe and in human body. The therapist treats the patients on the acupuncture spots along the meridian lines because these spots provide access to the various organs. Step-AerobicStepping on and off a platform may enhance the development of the balance between the energy level of the sigh tensors and flexors. Such balance plays an important role in the prevention of certain sports injuries. In well-organized step training the choreography and the step combinations match the rhythm of the music used for the training. StretchingIt means a set of stretching and relaxing exercises. Painless muscle system of good tone is required for coordinated injury-free motion. While being used, muscles perform repeating motions of a small extent, that’s why they tend to grow stiff soon. These exercises help you loosen your stiff muscles of poor tone. Sole massageIt has been used in Asia for five thousand years and nowadays we can see its revival. It protects and improves your physical and mental health without any side-effects within a short period if time. It helps you prevent diseases and stimulates the self-healing mechanism of the organism. Massaging the sole opens a way to affect the central nervous system, circulation and internal organs as it is extremely rich in nerve endings. In the reflex zones related to the particular organs, crystalline lumps of various sizes may be felt which could often be sensitive or even painful. The aim is to rub off these deposits and detoxify the body, improve blood circulation and stimulate the self-healing capacity. Thai massageAn Indian medical man was the first to use this technique in Thailand 2500 years ago. In the course of time it changed but it has preserved its bases up to this day. The massage is carried out with hand, elbow, sole or knee along the so called meridian lines connecting the acupuncture spots. You can enjoy this massage wearing a comfortable cotton T-shirt and cotton trousers. It has a relaxing effect, reduces tension and pain and affects muscles, interstitial tissues, joints, the autonomic nervous system, organs, blood circulation as well as the lines and spots harmonizing energy. Thalasso therapySince the mid-19th century the thelasso therapy - -derives from the Greek word "Thalassa" = sea – has combines the holistic and the wellness experiences for the body and soul. A French doctor called La Bounnadiére was the first to use the designation in 1867, and since then it has been associated with soothing and regenerating effects of the therapy applying sea water, seaweed and sea climate. YumeihoYumeiho is a kind of massage originated from Japan. It was created by Sajoni Masayuki, who used the elements of martial arts of Chinese Buddhist monasteries. The masseur kneads the body thoroughly, stretches the joints and loosens the blocks to make motion and energy flow free. The treatment combines the techniques of acupressure and the manual therapy with eastern physical exercises.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

tartalom: + 1 Kakukkfű Porta – The Mecca of Medicinal Herbs Magdolna Pohl Wágenhofer – mother of three, phytotherapist and naturopath – passes on her healing knowledge and experience, wrapped into bottles and unforgettable moments, to all those who wish to reconnect with nature. Connecting with nature and using medicinal herbs is a way of life for her, shaped since childhood. She has been surrounded by the world of herbs from an early age and later complemented her practical knowledge with professional training. In the early 2000s, she turned her focus more seriously toward herbs – consciously relearning everything she had instinctively absorbed as a child. She completed several courses, earning qualifications as a phytotherapist and naturopath. Two Locations, One Mission Kakukkfű Porta operates in two locations. The production site is in Karmacs, where herbs and fruits are grown in the garden, and processing also takes place here. The showroom and point of sale, however, are located in Gyenesdiás, at the Festetics Herbarium and Watermill. It is open during visiting hours, or you can take part in various workshops and programmes. At the Herbarium, you can enjoy a refreshing lemonade or a warming herbal tea, explore the demonstration herb garden and, of course, purchase products from Kakukkfű Porta. From Nature to the Jar The product selection includes herbal syrups, jams, vinegars and teas. All products are made from home-grown or wild-harvested ingredients, following the seasons, using traditional methods without additives or preservatives. Syrups: More than 13 types of herbal syrups are produced, including lavender, thyme, lemon balm and ribwort plantain – prepared by cold infusion to gently preserve active ingredients. Among the special flavours, rosehip and elderflower versions stand out. Jams & preserves: A wide variety of fruits are used, often combined with herbs. All jams are prepared traditionally, with little sugar and slow cooking to retain flavours and active compounds. Teas: The range includes therapeutic blends as well as single-herb teas, from home remedy use to daily wellbeing. Vinegars: The herb vinegars are made from apples using traditional methods, with apples sourced from the farm itself. Experience Programmes & Herb Tourism Kakukkfű Porta is also an idyllic experience venue. If you are interested in the world of herbs, you can take part in tastings, garden tours, children's activities and syrup & jam-making workshops. You can also learn about the history of the Diás Watermill and walk along the short educational trail starting from the St. John’s Spring. Product Information Treasure of Autumn Jam “Treasure of Autumn” is a warming delicacy created from the harmony of three autumn fruits – apple, pear and quince. The jam is slowly cooked using traditional methods and flavoured only with a little sugar and spices (cinnamon, cloves), preserving the characteristic taste of the fruits. Prepared free from additives, preservatives and flavour enhancers – just like in grandma’s kitchen. The jam is not only delicious but also acts as a healing preserve: warming and soothing, perfect for autumn and winter mornings on toast or even spooned into pastries. Apple Cider Vinegar Kakukkfű Porta’s apple cider vinegar is traditionally matured, made exclusively from selected apples using natural fermentation. It contains no preservatives or artificial additives – only pure, living ingredients. Apple cider vinegar is well-known for its health benefits: it aids digestion, suppresses appetite, lowers blood sugar, reduces inflammation and has a mild antiseptic effect. Recommended for daily use: one spoon dissolved in lukewarm water on an empty stomach, or added to salads.   Kakukkfű Porta can be found at: Gyenesdiás, Festetics Herbarium and Watermill Google Maps Further information and contact: Facebook Website Phone: +36 20 348 6368 [galeria]

tartalom: + 1 Common Challenges In Slovenia, 90% of all overnight stays currently take place in destinations certified under the Green Destinations (GD) system, accredited by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC). In addition, an increasing number of attractions and tourism providers have obtained sustainability certification through the Slovenia Green program. Today, sustainability shapes the mindset of all tourism stakeholders nationwide — including that of the visitors themselves. In contrast, sustainable tourism development in Hungary is still in its infancy. However, international pressure is mounting, as the lack of a GSTC-recognized sustainability certification reduces the region’s competitiveness. Overcoming this challenge is complex: it requires simultaneous efforts in raising public awareness, developing sustainable systems, improving the sustainability performance of individual service providers, and reshaping the overall destination brand. Today, more than two-thirds of global travelers seek sustainable destinations. The Slovenian-Hungarian border region can only meet this demand as a unified sustainable destination if Hungarian destinations also achieve GSTC certification. Moreover, since there can be no sustainable destination without sustainable providers, as many attractions and tourism businesses as possible must obtain sustainability certification. At the same time, a cross-border tourism network should be established, where members promote one another and develop joint tourism products under a shared sustainability brand. Building on international best practices and EU standards, the project will create a Slovenian-Hungarian cross-border “green” destination.   Total budget: €936,312.00 ERDF contribution: €585,685.20 Partners: Hévízi Turisztikai Nonprofit Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság Pannon Korlátolt Felelősségű Európai Területi Társulás Murska Sobota Fejlesztési Központ Lendvai Turisztikai és Fejlesztési Intézet Goodplace a fenntartható turizmus intézete Sárvár Tourist & TDM Nonprofit Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság Innotime Hungary Tanácsadó és Szolgáltató Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság                   Overall Objectives and Solutions The four participating cities are already internationally recognized destinations, each with its own (and continuously changing) target audiences following the COVID period. However, to build a cohesive, cross-border destination where the partners’ cooperation fosters longer stays and returning visitors, the following challenges must be addressed: Significant differences in preparedness regarding the two core values of sustainability and accessibility; The lack of a comprehensive quality management program that ensures consistent, internationally aligned services for key target groups (e.g. families, pet owners, cyclists, seniors); The absence of an integrated, up-to-date information system providing personalized data about tourism offers on both sides of the border, including local products; The lack of connections between tourism actors and local producers, which prevents destinations from showcasing each other’s offers and from benefiting more fully from the advantages of the circular economy. Main Project Outputs Based on the good practice of Murska Sobota, all partner destinations will obtain Green Destinations (GD) certification, while Murska Sobota aims to reach at least the Silver level. Each of the four locations will implement a pilot project focusing on regenerative tourism, with results transferable among partners. A minimum of 20 attractions and 40 service providers will be prepared to achieve GD Good Travel Seal certification. A pilot program supporting the circular economy will be developed and applied by all four municipal partners. A unified quality management and monitoring system will be established, in line with international standards and sustainability principles. Methodology and Cross-Border Nature Building on GD standards, all partners will work according to a common methodology. Innotime will develop a digital platform enabling all partners to continuously monitor their results and measure the sustainability index of their destinations and tourism services. An e-learning curriculum will be created, accessible to all tourism providers in the region, presenting sustainability criteria and the key values of the cross-border area. Through the service provider training program, a unified mentoring system will prepare local tourism businesses for international certification. Within the circular economy pilot, local producers on both sides of the border will also be involved. By the end of the project, destinations will be able to provide consistent, high-quality services, while attractions and service providers will be equipped to develop new cross-border tourism products based on mutual knowledge and collaboration.   Innovative Elements   Currently, there is no monitoring system in Europe capable of simultaneously measuring the sustainability and accessibility index of tourism providers, destinations, and visitors — as well as the outcomes of circular economy practices. The unified monitoring system developed within this project will fill this gap.   The project is co-financed by the European Union and supported by the Government of Hungary.

To protect these shared treasures for future generations, we kindly ask every visitor to follow the principles of responsible tourism.  Respect for nature Enjoy the beauty of the Hévíz Thermal Lake and its surroundings without disturbing wildlife or plants. Stay on marked paths and avoid stepping into protected natural areas. Do not litter — please use the designated bins and recycle where possible. Save energy and water whenever you can, both in your accommodation and in public areas. Respect for the community Keep noise levels low, especially in residential and spa zones. Be courteous towards local residents and other visitors. Support local businesses and buy regional products — your choice helps sustain the community. Dress appropriately when visiting public places, sacred or historical sites. Responsible enjoyment of the lake and spa Follow all spa rules regarding hygiene, safety, and capacity. Do not use soap, sunscreen, or cosmetics when bathing in the lake. Respect the instructions of lifeguards and staff. Avoid bringing glass containers or disposable plastic items to the spa area. Sustainable mobility and exploration Discover Hévíz responsibly — walk, cycle, or use the rubber-wheeled sightseeing train to reduce traffic and emissions. Park only in designated areas and respect traffic rules. Choose local tours and nature walks that promote low-impact experiences. Shared responsibility By following these simple rules, you help protect Hévíz’s natural environment, cultural heritage, and peaceful atmosphere.

The Indoor Bath can be visited with separate tickets. Healing and health promotion in Hévíz In Hévíz you can find almost all the elements of natural healing and health promotion, which interlock with one another as tiny particles, thus forming an integrated whole.This integrated whole can shortly be called health. The elements have a healing effect in themselves, but their joint presence increases their efficiency in the course of healing, rehabilitation and health promotion. If it is Hévíz, the most important healing element is bathing in the thermal lake. The gentle and smothering touch of the water, the feeling of floating, the swinging lotus flowers, the odour of the healing water and the green leafy crown of the surrounding trees all have a calming effect on the nervous system and evoke the psychological feeling of healing. To experience when water drops as tiny little balls give a gentle massage to the body is unique throughout the whole world.The medicinal lake of Hévíz not only provides the feeling of bathing but also means the basis of traditional medical treatments and healing wellness treatments. Thus, bath treatment means the basis of the healing effects of Lake Hévíz, but it is also important to emphasise such unique medical treatments as mud-pack, the famous weight bath, different types of medical massage and drinking cure. Besides healing, Hévíz naturally provides other facilities as well to preserve the active physical condition of the body, strengthen mental fitness, and find peace and soul harmony (even if for a few days…). Active sports programs such as Nordic walking, bike tours, walks in the town, or near the outlet besides the lake or trips to the wine cellars all strengthen the body and the soul. Some find the right healing powder in the treatments and activities above while others might prefer spending a couple or even more days in a marvellous environment, doing nothing else but enjoying their holiday and the unique atmosphere of the little town, tasting the delicious specialities that are characteristic of the Zala region, and enjoying the flavour of the wines of Hévíz in the company of friends, all of which evoke an unforgettable experience. As we all know: delicious food and a glass of nice wine are as important elements of life as health itself!
