cím: GreenPower – Recharge This Spring with the Energy of Nature!

lead: After months of urban lifestyle, digital noise, stress, and winter fatigue, it’s time to return to an ancient energy source: nature! Spring is arriving, bringing with it a fresh, green energy that surrounds us in every moment. Hévíz is a true natural oasis where healing waters, lush forests, and crystal-clear air help your body and soul renew.

tartalom: + 1 Water – The Source of Life Water, in its noble simplicity, is the essence of life – and this is especially true of the thermal waters of Hévíz. It’s a living healing source, rich in minerals that nourish the body and help restore tired joints. They say stress and sore muscles melt away in the warm waters of Hévíz! A relaxing bath can feel like a rebirth of your inner energy: the minerals boost circulation, support detoxification, and encourage cell renewal. It’s not just a physical refreshment, but a mental one too – a true stress-reliever.   Breathing Nature, Fresh Leaves, and Green Harmony Picture yourself walking through a dense, green forest, where every tree and leaf radiates life and freshness. The clean air offered by the forest acts as natural oxygen therapy – freeing your mind, helping you reflect, and pulling you out of daily stress. The silence of the woods, the trickle of streams, and the song of birds create a stress-relieving effect that reconnects you with inner calm. This spring, “Open up to nature!” in Hévíz – walk, jog, hike, or cycle to energize every cell in your body with fresh air! Let the Sunshine In! Natural sunlight is essential for vitamin D production, which is key to bone strength and a healthy immune system. In spring, days get longer, the sun shines warmer, and we can spend more time outdoors – enjoying early sunbaths, weekend yoga, or just being outside. You can amplify the experience with a bit of sound therapy: notice the relaxing sounds of nature – the rustling of trees, birds singing, and water flowing. Quiet your mind and hear the harmony of the earth.   The Healing Mud Imagine lying in a warm room as your body is massaged with thick, black therapeutic mud heated to 44°C. Thanks to the warm, mineral-rich substance and skilled massage, your whole body relaxes, your skin warms, and the beneficial elements absorb through your pores. Your muscles unwind, joints quietly regenerate, your skin becomes silky, and your nerves find calm. Don’t do it because you need to – do it because it’s simply fantastic! Vitamin Bomb Spring is the season of rebirth, and there’s no better way to boost a tired immune system than with a diet full of fresh vegetables. Ancient medicinal herbs that have been part of healing traditions for centuries are now central to modern wellness. A short detox or juice cleanse with fresh seasonal produce doesn’t just cleanse the body – it’s a true vitamin bomb that restores your vitality. Hévíz is the perfect place to rediscover the power of nature after a long, exhausting winter. The healing water, green forests, fresh air, sunlight, and natural sounds combine to create a revitalizing effect that recharges and restores. If you feel it’s time to escape the digital city noise and reconnect with nature’s ancient energy, don’t hesitate: start your spring renewal in Hévíz and experience the power of true green energy!

cím: Cycle by Lake Balaton every day

lead: Spring is here once more, and finally we can enjoy ourselves in the fresh air again. Spring and autumn are the best seasons for bicycle tours, however, cycling is a sport that you can pursuit in any season.

tartalom: + 1 What’s more, cycling is more than a sport! While cycling, you have the possibility to discover the world on two wheels while you are relaxing. Not to mention that cycling is also environmentally friendly and healthy as well! The bicycle road around Lake Balaton has been completed for 15 years. Cyclist have already cycled around the Lake more than once, but they are also ready for new challenges. Cycling became so popular in the past years that the bicycle roads are as crowded as the highways, especially in the summer season. The Hungarian Cyclist Association have been working relentlessly on the BB365 project and its results are already used by every biker. What is BB365 exactly? It is an abbreviation which stands for Balaton Bike 365, meaning that by Lake Balaton it is possible to enjoy bicycle services all year around. Thanks to the project, sign boards were placed out which signal 800 kilometres of bicycle roads in total, four times the length of the complete Lake Balaton bicycle round. 45 different thematic routes were also created, which are also noted by boards. For example, the routes including the Festetics Heritage are red coloured. Circle tours always have letter combinations. The three-digit numbers always mean local routes, while two-digit numbers mean national roads. One-digit roads usually connect to international roads. Be cautious though: the new signs don’t always signal separate bicycle roads since they can also point to appointed car roads or dirt roads too. The BB365 webpage and application are perfect for seeing these roads as well. The BB365 application was awarded ‘The Application of the Year’ award by the Hungarian Marketing Association last year. Cycling fans are able to plan their routes around Lake Balaton in 7 languages. Due to the project, three bicycle centres were also created in Keszthely, in Balatonfüred and in Balatonföldvár. In these centres, bicycles can be rented, or guided tour can be also booked. Fixing services will be also available in the future. For what the BB365 application is good for? Just like in Google, you will be able to make a cycling tour plan, however, in the BB365 app you will only see the routes that you can also cycle on. You will immediately see the quality of the road (bicycle road, car road, dirt road) and the altitudes as well. You are also able to filter your search based on recommended routes if you for example travel with your family or you would like to cycle with a mountain bike. You are also able to rate the routes and recommend it to others. With the pictograms, you can see the sights of the region like castles, viewpoints, museums or churches.

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

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

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

cím: 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.

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.
