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.

cím: CseroSajt

lead: Smoked parenyica, spiced gomolya, sweet whey cream — if you love authentic flavors, you simply must try CseroSajt!

tartalom: + 1 Three cows, two hands, and a story rewritten every morning In a former press house on the Rezi vineyards, it's no longer wine aging, but cheese. Under the hands of Róbert Cserép, smoked parenyica, spiced gomolya cheese, and sweet whey cream are crafted daily. At dawn, while others are still sleeping, Robi is already in the cheese workshop: pasteurizing, curdling, stirring, shaping, smoking, packaging. CseroSajt's story isn’t about an inherited craft passed down through generations — it’s about a bold change, a conscious decision, and a lot of relearning. You can taste the cheeses right on the farm, surrounded by peacefully grazing cows and the rolling hills of Rezi vineyards. From IT Specialist to Cheesemaker Robi used to work in IT, but eventually grew tired of screens and enclosed spaces. Drawn by the tranquility of a nature-based lifestyle and the desire to create with his hands, he turned to cheesemaking. “Every morning, before I start, I stand in front of the workshop. The cows graze quietly, the mist slowly lifts, and on colder days, you can even see their breath. That’s when I know I’m in the right place.” A lifelong resident of Rezi, it was only natural for Robi to start his cheesemaking venture here. He began with just two liters of milk, making cheese as an experiment for his family. Positive feedback quickly showed him that others also appreciated his handcrafted, small-batch cheeses. What started as a passion project has now grown into a business — Robi even has help today. After numerous courses, trials, and failures, he transformed the old press house into a compliant, yet still artisanal, cheese workshop. Its essence, however, remains unchanged: handmade, close to nature, and close to people. Cheese you’ll remember CseroSajt offers fresh plain and spiced gomolya cheeses, along with hand-stretched parenyicas in various flavors. Robi also makes a creamy, sweet whey spread that’s denser and richer than yogurt, offering a unique taste experience. All cheeses are made from gently pasteurized milk, preserving their natural nutritional value. Robi carefully selects his rennet and bacterial cultures, using only natural, additive-free salt. Flavors are thoughtfully chosen: red onion, ham, garlic, wild garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, dried cranberries, chili — all-natural, often homegrown. Parenyica is hand-stretched, shaped, filled, and smoked with beechwood, creating its signature mildly salty, smoky flavor, which has become a hallmark of CseroSajt.  No preservatives, no additives — just honest craftsmanship. No two cheeses are alike At CseroSajt, you’ll never taste two identical cheeses. Variations are part of the charm, born from artisanal methods and nature-friendly animal husbandry. Though Robi follows his trusted recipes, factors like weather and the grass composition the cows graze on can subtly influence the texture and flavor of the cheese. As Robi says: “Cheese is as good as the milk. The milk is as good as the animal. And the animal is as well as it’s cared for.” Currently, three cows graze on Rezi hill: two Magyartarka and one Kárpáti Borzderes, named Rezeda, Pipacs, and Jázmin. We encourage you to taste CseroSajt products and, if possible, visit the farm to see the cheesemaking process up close — and meet the cows too.   Product highlights Parenyica – Hand-stretched, beechwood smoked Did you know parenyica originally comes from Slovak shepherds in the Tatra Mountains? From there, it conquered the world — and today, it’s made right here on Rezi hill. CseroSajt parenyica is crafted from fresh milk, gently pasteurized, then hand-stretched and rolled into shape using traditional methods. The base version is mildly salty, with a firm yet elastic texture, and smoked with beechwood, which imparts a distinctive yet smooth flavor. No preservatives or additives are used — only natural, mineral-rich salt. You can also enjoy parenyica in various flavors: red onion, ham, garlic, wild garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, dried cranberries, and chili.
