tartalom: + 1 Where happy goats give you cheese, yogurt, and kefir At her small-batch workshop in Cserszegtomaj, Emese Tusz handcrafts cheeses and dairy products without additives, using milk from goats raised on her family farm. What began as a solution to her son’s dietary needs has grown into a beloved craft, allowing many others to enjoy high-quality dairy products again. If you’re looking for clean, pure, and lactose-sensitive-friendly delights — start your tasting journey here. A former German teacher, Emese started experimenting with goat’s milk when her son was diagnosed with dairy protein and lactose intolerance. Her home experiments quickly turned into a passion, then a profession. She completed a two-year dairy processing course in Csermajor and established her own workshop in Cserszegtomaj. Today, her son — who has grown up around goats — also takes part in the daily farm work. For sensitive stomachs and gourmet palates At Emese’s market stall, you’ll find fresh goat cheeses flavored with herbs, aged Jersey cow cheeses, yogurt, kefir, and occasionally butter and cottage cheese — all made with milk from her own farm. Her goat herd currently numbers around 80, with about three-quarters producing milk. All products are made with pasteurized milk, natural rennet, and selected cultures, ensuring a clean, mild flavor with no strong "goaty" taste. Emese cares for her goats with expertise and attention, knowing that healthy, clean animals are key to quality cheese. She uses no additives, flavor enhancers, or preservatives. Each product is made by hand — from shaping the cheese to seasoning it. Emese adapts her recipes daily, responding to the natural variations in milk: “Every day, the milk behaves differently. Its taste, texture, everything changes — you can’t force it into a formula, you have to follow its lead.” Fresh cheeses are often seasoned with smoked paprika or herbs. The yogurt is thick yet silky, while the kefir is light but full-flavored. Aged cheeses offer a deeper, more complex taste profile. Emese also keeps a Jersey cow, whose A2 beta-casein-rich milk broadens her product range — perfect for sensitive customers. Her aged cheeses and limited-edition yogurts often come from this milk, crafted with separate recipes to suit its unique character. Seasonal production Goats naturally begin producing milk after spring births, with milking season typically lasting through autumn. As a result, fresh goat milk products — like cheese, yogurt, and kefir — are only available during certain times of the year. In winter, when the goats rest, production pauses. Only at the market — Always personal You can find Emese’s products exclusively at the Hévíz Farmers’ Market. For her, meeting customers is part of the experience. She loves to talk about her cheeses, her goats, and how everything is made — often sharing pairing tips as well. “If it’s good enough for my son, it’s good enough for anyone.” This simple philosophy sums up what makes Emese’s products so special: they are healthy, natural, delicious — and crafted with honesty, heart, and care.   Product highlights Goat cheeses in a variety of flavors Fresh cheeses, creamy spreads, yogurt, and kefir — all made from milk sourced from Emese’s own goats, crafted with over a decade of experience. Every product is made with pasteurized goat’s milk, natural rennet, and carefully selected cultures. Fresh cheeses are prepared just before market days to guarantee freshness. In addition to plain, natural cheeses, you’ll find exciting flavors: garlic, chili, red onion, fenugreek, chives, and even a dessert cheese with walnuts and cranberries. Emese emphasizes quality and gluten-free safety, using Lukullusz ingredients to ensure her cheeses are safe for gluten-sensitive customers. No additives, no colorings, no preservatives. Smoked varieties are cold-smoked over beechwood, preserving their soft texture and natural aromas. Goat cheese pairs perfectly with a slice of sourdough bread, tossed into a fresh salad, or served alongside crisp apples.

The Life-Giving Winds of the Ice Age: How Loess Shaped the Land

Did you know that Transdanubia’s rich, golden soils are actually a gift from the winds of the Ice Age? Loess isn’t just a dry geological term — it’s an ancient natural recipe that gave rise to some of the most fertile soils in the Carpathian Basin. Where vineyards grow today and birds nest in loess cliffs, strong winds once carried yellow dust across the landscape — for thousands of years. Learn how this unique sediment shaped the land and why loess is still essential for sustainable farming today.

What Is Loess and How Did It Form?

The term loess comes from the German word lose, meaning "loose." Loess is a fine-grained, yellowish sediment that was deposited during the Pleistocene epoch (2.58–0.01 million years ago), particularly during glacial periods. It formed in periglacial environments south of the great Scandinavian ice sheet — cold, dry landscapes with little or no vegetation.

The dust was carried by strong Ice Age winds from floodplains and barren steppes, and slowly accumulated over tens of thousands of years. Eventually, calcium carbonate cemented these layers into loess, which developed characteristic vertical fissures.

It’s important to note that the Pleistocene wasn't a single “Ice Age,” but a period that included alternating cold and warm phases — some even warmer than today.

Loess and the Landscape

Loess gave the Carpathian Basin — especially Transdanubia — its distinct terrain.

Steep loess cliffs (sometimes up to 10 meters high), caves that provide nesting sites for bee-eaters and sand martins, centuries-old sunken roads carved into hillsides, and exposed root systems are all part of the landscape’s geological legacy.

Together, they define the unique character of this region — shaped by time, wind, and stone.

Fertility and Water Retention

Loess-rich areas have produced some of the most fertile soils in the region. Many local producers farm on land that sits atop loess. This creates an excellent foundation for agriculture — not just because of the high humus content, but also because loess has outstanding water-holding capacity. Its vertical pores allow moisture to penetrate deeply and remain in the soil, even during dry periods.

A Modern Echo — Dust from the Sahara

Interestingly, the fine Saharan dust that now reaches Central Europe more frequently can be seen as a modern counterpart to loess-forming material. It’s a reminder that the powerful natural forces that shaped the land long ago are still at work today — just on a different scale.

tartalom: + 1 Artisan chocolate crafted as an artform Did you know that sea buckthorn isn’t just an immune-boosting superfruit, but also pairs beautifully with dark chocolate Gorza Melinda, founder of GM Design Chocolate Atelier, discovered this perfect harmony when she created her sea buckthorn-infused dark chocolate bars and bonbons. But GM Design is more than just a chocolate shop. Melinda’s creativity shines through in pastry competitions, where she regularly wins awards for her artistic chocolate sculptures. Now you can taste her award-winning chocolates too! A childhood dream come true Melinda knew by age nine that she wanted to become a pastry chef. In 2006, she earned her pastry certification and has been honing her skills ever since, especially in chocolate-making. For her, working with chocolate is more than a job — it’s a passion and a form of artistic expression. In 2025, she opened her own workshop and store in Keszthely, GM Design, where she creates handmade chocolates using Belgian couverture. Melinda loves that through chocolate, she can bring a little happiness into people’s everyday lives. To sharpen her skills and fuel her creativity, she regularly competes in pastry contests, particularly in the artistic category — crafting edible chocolate sculptures and lifelike compositions that require weeks of precision and imagination. For true chocolate lovers At GM Design, you’ll find everything a chocolate lover could wish for: filled and unfilled bars, bonbons, chocolate sculptures, chocolate flowers — in a variety of flavors. Melinda creates every product by hand, using premium Belgian chocolate. She never uses cocoa mass substitutes, palm oil, or artificial additives. Her milk chocolate contains 36.5% cocoa, while her dark chocolate boasts 70.5% cocoa content. She handles every step of production herself — from tempering the chocolate to achieve a glossy, crisp finish, to molding bars, bonbons, figurines, and roses. For filled chocolates, she develops her own ganache recipes with seasonal flavors like sour cherry, raspberry, coconut, pistachio, rose, salted caramel — and the most distinctive of all, sea buckthorn. Melinda often decorates her creations with freeze-dried fruits, edible flowers, and nuts. After cooling, the chocolates are packaged — available in gift boxes and special seasonal themes. A real treat is her chocolate-covered dried or fresh fruits, available seasonally. An authentic chocolate experience GM Design is located in downtown Keszthely, just steps from the main square. The cozy shop doubles as an open-view workshop, where visitors can peek into the chocolate-making process. The shop is open Tuesday to Saturday, and Melinda also brings her sweets to the Hévíz Farmers’ Market every Thursday and Saturday.   Product highlights Sea buckthorn filled dark chocolate bar & bonbon Among GM Design’s most exciting creations are the sea buckthorn-filled dark chocolate bar and bonbon. Here, the tartness of sea buckthorn perfectly balances the richness of silky dark chocolate. Made with 70.5% premium Belgian chocolate, these treats feature a refreshing sea buckthorn ganache — offering both a unique taste and a natural vitamin boost. Fun fact: ganache is a silky filling made from chocolate and butter, commonly used in chocolates and pastries. Melinda enhances hers with sea buckthorn purée and ground seeds, giving an added layer of flavor and texture. The sea buckthorn is sourced from a local producer, Kiss Homoktövis farm in Bocfölde, ensuring freshness and traceability.

tartalom: + 1 Medicinal mud The medicinal mud which thickly covers the lake-bed is also worth mentioning. The unique medicinal mud of Hévíz contains organic and inorganic substances, and reduced sulphides also have special healing effects.
  The bed of Lake Hévíz is covered by a 1-7 metre-thick layer of natural, mainly organic medicinal mud, which is dark-grey by colour and soft by texture. The thermal water and medicinal mud were formed in the Pannonic-sea tens of thousands of years ago, and they are suitable for complex physiotherapy treatments, and for the treatment of all kinds of rheumatic and locomotive diseases. The medicinal mud is applied as mud-pack during the treatments. According to the opinion of specialist doctors, a maximum of six body parts can be wrapped in mud at a time. The main effect of medicinal mud is to keep the hands and body parts warm. The duration of the mud treatment is 20 minutes, after which at least a 30 minute period of relaxation is recommended. It is recommended for the following diseases: in case of chronic musculoskeletal diseases, it is indicated for both degenerative, atherosclerotic disease forms and inflammatory diseases in case of certain orthopaedic, neurologic, medical and gynaecological diseases Mud packs can be carried out only on medical advice in Hévíz. Use the Hévíz mud as cosmetics! In addition to the traditional “wrapped” mud packs many cosmetic mud packs are also available these days in the beauty market – even those which were made of the Hévíz mud. The mud formed due to thousands of years of geological and biological processes has high humic acid and organic material content and heat retaining capacity, that is why it has been used in medicine for a long time. However, its cosmetic use is not entirely new. Experiments prove that it also has unique aesthetic effects: empties the excreta, enhances the metabolism of cells, increases the production of collagen, and the minerals inside refill the body. It is excellent for the smoothing of the face, neck and décolleté, and even for body shaping in case of using it as a treatment course. Its regular use enhances the defence mechanism of the immune system. The products made of mud smoothen and soften the skin. They have a beneficial effect on the renewal of the skin and connective tissue cells, reduce inflammation and the signs of aging, because the thermal effects dilate the capillaries, therefore the nutrients- and oxygen supply increases and as a result, the skin becomes more resistant.    These cosmetic products are only made of natural ingredients, their essential minerals, vitamins ensure the balanced functioning of the processes among the cells. Already after the first treatment, you can feel the change on your skin – it will have a silky, youthful, fresh and velvety touch.  Among the products based on mud can be found soaps, mud baths, masks, wraps, creams, facial cleansers, massage creams, body scrubs, balms and body lotions too. You can get more information about the mud products in our webshop or in the Tourinform Office in Hévíz! Feel free to try it!

tartalom: + 1 800-Year-Old Church The Egregy part of the town called Hévíz used to be a medieval village, which has been destroyed during the Turkish occupation and has been rebuilt by German settlers in the 17th century. The traditions of vine-growing are preserved by the local oenologists and inns. One of the pearls of the town, the ancient monument church built in the 13th century is located in the Egregy part of the town. The church is surrounded by a graveyard. From the top of the hills there is a wonderful view to see. The exact date of the construction of the church is unknown; presumably it was built in the middle of the 13th century. Written records mention it for the first time in 1341. The building was heavily damaged during the 16-17th century, in the baroque times it has been renovated in 1731. Luckily only the parts that absolutely needed action were involved in the renovation, therefore, the medieval form of the church remained. The results of this renovation included the internal and the external decorative paintings, heightening of the nef, and the missing arches have been replaced, too. The first patron of the church was St. Catherine of Alexandria. After the renovation the church has been consecrated again, and the new saint patron was St. Magdalena. Then the church has been subject to renovations repeatedly: in 1860, in 1912, between 1964 and 1965, in 1990, 1991 and in 2015. There is an opened baroque door on the southern side. The arching of the tower has been renewed in the 18th century, and the quadrangular nef adjoins it. The only decorative element adding space to the interior of the church is the row of chambers in the northern wall. It is important to pay attention to the paintings on the wall of the church. These are not of medieval origin, but are the clear evidence of the architectural enrichment of the church. It reflects the due respect of the folk art treasure forms. Inside the building there are the fragments of a baptising pool from the Roman age, and a consecrated cross from the medieval age. The church of Egregy is one of the three churches from the Arpadian age left entire in the area of Lake Balaton. The structure and the space of the orientated church are clear-cut, it has a straight sanctuary and a single nef. The tower has three floors of rich formation, with double and triple windows. The tower is covered by an octagonal helmet-shaped roof reinforced by eight quarter-timbers. The foundations preserved the forms used for building from wood. The painted decorations and the scratched forms remained on the external surfaces. Look around in our 3D tour! Holy Spirit Catholic Church The Holy Spirit Catholic Church is the largest church of Hévíz. Its seating capacity is about 1000. The foundation stone of the church was laid by Jozsef Szendi then bishop in May 1996.Its GPS co-ordinates are the following: N 46° 47' 21.85", E 17° 11' 06.04"The church was built based on the plans of Janos Bocskai architect. Due to the support of the town and the population it has been completed in three years. The seven sky-high towers serve as a guide for the visitors of the town. The seven towers are the symbols of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. On September 9th, 1999 it has been consecrated together with the Town Hall by Jozsef Szendi retired bishop. The interior of the church is alloying modern architecture and tradition enhanced mainly by the nice wooden panels. Its excellent acoustics makes it a suitable scene for giving organ concerts, too. The colourful windows with their Gothic-like forms are the hand-made products of Endre Simon artist from Heviz. The torso cross on the wall of the sanctuary is a 200 years old art treasure that has been granted to the church and has been restored by Gyula Karolyi restorer and painter. The bronze statue of Christ on the left side of the altar was created by Laszlo Marton. He is also the composer of the bronze statue called the Dowager of the Hungarians standing on the right side and wearing the Hungarian Crown. The lustre glaze pictures on the walls were made by Laszlo Morvay. The wooden structure was built by Tibor Kováts and the wooden works of the interior were produced by Andras Hegedus. There are four bells in the towers. In the garden of the church and in its neighbourhood there are several statues and reliefs. Due to static reasons there was no bell placed in the highest tower. In the tower on the left there are two bells ringing, one of those have been founded by Dr. Bela Horvath and his family to pay homage to Saint Peter, the another was moved here from the old church. One of the bells in the right tower have been founded to do homage to Saint Paul and the costs were covered by the widow of Imre Varga, its another bell is again from the old church. Look around in our 3D tour! Calvinist church The Calvinist church was constructed between 1995 and 1998 based on the 1941 plans of Balint Szeghalmy architect from Nagyvarad. The marble decorations of the building are evocating of the Hungarian Calvinist churches of Transylvania. When creating the interior the Calvinist traditions were followed and it has remarkable woodworks. The church is used both by the Calvinist and the Lutheran denominations for servicing and meetings. Indeed only the minority of the population of the town is Calvinist or evangelical, but every year there are thousands of visitors belonging to these churches arrive here from Hungary and from abroad. The Calvinist from Heviz used to have no church, their meetings were held in houses and in the Community Centre of the Spa-Hospital. The evangelists used the small room of the movie theatre, then the lobby of Hotel Alba and the Community Centre of the hospital. In 1994 the city council made a donation of this piece of land to the denominations. It was again the local government supporting the construction, then a funding was started in order to cover the remaining costs of the works started in 1995. The foundation stone of the Calvinist church was laid on June 21st, 1997. The finished church building was consecrated by Dr. Bela Harmati evangelist bishop and Dr. Mihaly Markus Calvinist bishop. Karoly Borsos and his family made the donation of the bell located under the opened arch of the tower to the church. Look around in our 3D tour! Heart of Jesus church The Heart of Jesus church is located in the Egregy part of the town. It consists of two parts constructed in different ages. Close to the church there are building ruins left from the Roman age, the excavation was brought to a close in 2004.Its GPS co-ordinates are the following: N 46° 48' 07.28" , E 17° 11' 20,94” The church was built based on the plans of Janos Bocskai architect. The belfry was built at the beginning of the 20th century, while the nef was completed in 1994-1995. The belfry built in 1905 had two floors, but in 1937 a third floor was added. The tower built in Roman style has twin windows and includes a small and a large bell. The small bell has been founded to do homage to Maria Magdalena in 1905. In 1937 the large bell was founded upon the order of Egregy village to do homage to those who died in the King’s service. To pay homage to those 16 people lost in World War I there is a table made of stone in the middle of the cope and the names are listed on this. In commemoration of them again there were 16 trees planted, together with grave-markers having each name, date of birth and birth of death carved into those. There are only 6 trees alive as of today. To pay homage also to those who died in World War II there was a memorial tablet placed into the wall of the belfry, including the names of the young people from Egregy who died. Later the tablet has been moved to the graveyard. In 1994 the construction of the church nef started in accordance with the plans of Janos Bocskai. Then it has been consecrated by Dr. Gaspar Ladocsi major-general, chaplain general to the forces on April 22nd, 1995. The church is also called Fradi church, due the significant support provided by Sport Club of Ferencvaros (Fradi) for the construction. The white and green colours of the interior and the small memorial corner reflect the ties with the club. Look around in our 3D tour!

tartalom: + 1 Sights of our city   Farmers' market of Hévíz Evoking the old times, the area behind the large car park is getting full of vendors on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.  Occasionally visitors can meet the products of honey producers, pickles and juice makers, cheese and vegetable vendors accompanied by traditional Transylvanian music. Fresh bread, sausages, home-made cakes and cow milk can be even tasted before purchasing them. Beside the fine goods, craftsmen sell their wares. Pottery, baskets or even hand-made soaps can be bought on the spot. The farmers’ market of Hévíz offers high-quality and chemical-free products for the conscious customers. Shopping here will not only support the local farmers, but it is a decision for healthy living. The 800 vendors, who offer their product for sale from time to time, have already decided for the Farmers’ market of Hévíz. Visit us, come and see for yourself! Opening hours:Till 31 December:Tuesday: 7:00 - 13.00Thursday: 13:00 -19:00Saturday 7:00 -13:00 1 January - 26. March:Thursday: 12:00 -18:00Saturday 8:00 -13:00 Look around in our 3D tour! 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.

tartalom: + 1 The story of the wine culture in Hévíz Wine-making on Egregy hill has a tradition which goes back to the Roman era when viticulture was introduced to the region. During the reign of the Árpád-dynasty, people continued this form of agriculture as proven by an official certificate dated back in 1221. In the Turkish era, the medieval village was destroyed and deserted, but the area was populated again after the immigration of German settlers at the beginning of the 17th century. Just like their ancestors, these people also continued traditional viticulture in the Balaton region. The region had excellent potentials for this activity: the warm and sometimes hot soil and the favourable climatic conditions always guaranteed and still guarantee the production of excellent quality wines, which was also complemented by the locals’ love of work. It is a special wine region of white wines but certain types of red wine grapes were also planted here. The most remarkable varieties of the region are Olaszrizling (“Italian Riesling), a Szürkebarát (Pinot Gris) and Rizlingszilváni (Müller Thurgau), but we may also find Zöldveltelini (Green veltliner) and different types of Muskotály (Muscat) too. Egregy is not only famous for its church, which was built during the reign of the Árpád-dynasty, but thanks to the favourable natural features viticulture also plays a significant part in the life of the area. Egregy hill was classified as a high-quality wine region in 1998, and the wines produced here were classified as characteristic wines of the Balaton region. The local government also found and still finds it important to popularize the wines of Hévíz, therefore, in March 2007 the Wine of the town of Hévíz was chosen for the first time, which event is also held every year. Ask for the Wine of the town at your landlord, at restaurants, or at the Tourinform Office. Or you can order it from our webshop. Would you like to know what the most popular wines and types of grapes are around Hévíz?

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.

lead: Herbs become teas and infused oils, fruits turn into dried snacks and pure juices — all crafted from natural ingredients using modern methods. Step into their “witch’s kitchen” and discover how nature’s gifts are transformed.
tartalom: + 1 Small-scale organic rarming in Zala Péter Bakos and his wife Zsuzsa left their former careers behind to start farming, building their model farm step by step. Here, they grow and process herbs, fruits, and spices into 100% pure juices, dried fruits, infused oils, essential oils, and floral waters. What makes them unique is their commitment to human-scale, artisanal production.Visitors can tour the workshop, taste natural delicacies, and learn firsthand about the healing power of herbs. Where people, animals, and plants thrive together Drawn to a sustainable, nature-connected lifestyle, Péter and Zsuzsa settled in Zalaszentlászló. Though they once lived in Budapest, their love for nature and interest in herbalism had always been there. When they found their property in the Zala Valley, they quickly realized its potential — wild herbs flourished everywhere. Over time, this blossomed into the Valley of Herbs. Their vision was simple: create a place where nature sets the rhythm, and the family only takes what each season offers. To deepen her knowledge, Zsuzsa completed formal phytotherapy training, gaining a deep understanding of the valley’s medicinal plants. Tradition meets modern processing In their “witch’s kitchen,” Valley of Herbs produces infused oils, dried fruits, pure juices, and herbal teas — all from natural, carefully selected ingredients. Modern pressing technology ensures minimal intervention for juices, while crafting infused oils, drying fruits, and preparing teas remains a hands-on, meticulous process. Every herb, spice, and fruit is sorted by hand before it goes into oils, dehydrators, or drying racks. Unlike industrial producers, Péter and Zsuzsa focus on quality over quantity. They use only their own crops or ingredients from trusted local farmers. Herbs are homegrown or wild-harvested from their land.  Their infused oils are blended with omega-3 rich Hungarian oil and flavored with homegrown basil, garlic, tarragon, and thyme.Dried fruits — apricots, plums, apples, sour cherries — are gently dehydrated at low temperatures to preserve their natural flavor and nutrients. Juices are pressed from seasonal harvests — apples, grapes, rowanberries, currants, beets, and pumpkins — without added sugars or preservatives. A little of everything in one place Their 15-hectare farm is a vibrant mix of wild meadows, orchards, herb gardens, and a fragrant spice patch. Chickens, roosters, and horses are part of daily life, cared for by Zsuzsa with joy. The farm also includes a small on-site shop, where, by appointment, visitors can buy their favorite products, join herb walks, and attend educational workshops.   Product highlights Dried fruits – Local, natural, handcrafted Valley of Herbs dried fruits are made exclusively from local, hand-selected produce. Only the best fruits are used — anything bruised or overripe is carefully excluded to maintain top quality in taste and appearance. Apples, pears, and plums are hand-picked, pitted, sliced, and gently dehydrated using an eco-friendly, small-scale drying system. Dried slowly at low temperatures (45–55°C) over several hours or even days, the fruits retain their color, vitamins, and natural sweetness. No added sugar, no preservatives — just the pure, sun-ripened flavor and aroma of the fruit.

The Life-Giving Winds of the Ice Age: How Loess Shaped the Land

Did you know that Transdanubia’s rich, golden soils are actually a gift from the winds of the Ice Age? Loess isn’t just a dry geological term — it’s an ancient natural recipe that gave rise to some of the most fertile soils in the Carpathian Basin. Where vineyards grow today and birds nest in loess cliffs, strong winds once carried yellow dust across the landscape — for thousands of years. Learn how this unique sediment shaped the land and why loess is still essential for sustainable farming today.

What Is Loess and How Did It Form?

The term loess comes from the German word lose, meaning "loose." Loess is a fine-grained, yellowish sediment that was deposited during the Pleistocene epoch (2.58–0.01 million years ago), particularly during glacial periods. It formed in periglacial environments south of the great Scandinavian ice sheet — cold, dry landscapes with little or no vegetation.

The dust was carried by strong Ice Age winds from floodplains and barren steppes, and slowly accumulated over tens of thousands of years. Eventually, calcium carbonate cemented these layers into loess, which developed characteristic vertical fissures.

It’s important to note that the Pleistocene wasn't a single “Ice Age,” but a period that included alternating cold and warm phases — some even warmer than today.

Loess and the Landscape

Loess gave the Carpathian Basin — especially Transdanubia — its distinct terrain.

Steep loess cliffs (sometimes up to 10 meters high), caves that provide nesting sites for bee-eaters and sand martins, centuries-old sunken roads carved into hillsides, and exposed root systems are all part of the landscape’s geological legacy.

Together, they define the unique character of this region — shaped by time, wind, and stone.

Fertility and Water Retention

Loess-rich areas have produced some of the most fertile soils in the region. Many local producers farm on land that sits atop loess. This creates an excellent foundation for agriculture — not just because of the high humus content, but also because loess has outstanding water-holding capacity. Its vertical pores allow moisture to penetrate deeply and remain in the soil, even during dry periods.

A Modern Echo — Dust from the Sahara

Interestingly, the fine Saharan dust that now reaches Central Europe more frequently can be seen as a modern counterpart to loess-forming material. It’s a reminder that the powerful natural forces that shaped the land long ago are still at work today — just on a different scale.

tartalom: + 1 A treat for all your senses You might not expect a magical chocolate experience among the rolling hills of Zala near Lake Balaton — but it’s true! At KakasBonbon in Felsőpáhok, every bonbon transports you to distant lands while celebrating local flavors. The chocolate shell gently cracks, the filling melts in your mouth. Everything you need for an unforgettable tasting. The story of the weathercock & chocolate The story of KakasBonbon began over 15 years ago when János Szabó and Andrea Tésenyi left their old lives behind and found a new calling in chocolate-making. The iconic weathercock originally perched atop a farmhouse in Máriagyűd, now serves as their symbol and guide in the world of chocolate. The family’s journey took them from Máriagyűd to Sopron, and finally to Felsőpáhok — much to the delight of locals and visitors alike. Today, their workshop and “bonbon apothecary” welcome chocolate lovers from near and far. A special gift for pairing flavors Andrea is the creative force behind the chocolates. Beyond mastering the craft, she possesses a refined sense for pairing flavors and designing memorable forms. For her, making bonbons is less a job and more a form of meditation. Prunes, pumpkin seed & apple, yuzu — and more KakasBonbon offers over 70 flavors, though not all are available year-round. The selection changes with the seasons, ensuring every bonbon is fresh and its aromas at their peak. In harvest season, grape flavors take the spotlight. Winter brings rich cocoa creations, while summer features citrus and berries. Andrea also crafts milk and dark chocolate bars, hot chocolate bombs, and festive shapes for special occasions. All chocolates share the same pure foundation: select single-origin cacao beans, cream (or a lactose-free alternative), and natural fruit or spice essences. The cacao is sourced from diverse regions — Italy, France, Spain, Vietnam, South America — while the fillings highlight local ingredients. Their recipes are clean and simple, as are their elegant decorations. Visit the weathercock in Felsőpáhok! At their Felsőpáhok home, you’ll find a shop, workshop, terrace, and cellar — a perfect setting to taste their creations and meet the makers.

Imagine a vast body of water — over 1,000 meters deep and more than 400 times the size of Lake Balaton — once rippling across this land. The story of the Pannonian Lake is not just a fascinating chapter of geological history, but a legacy that continues to shape the region: it left behind mineral resources, fertile soils, and even inspired legends. Discover how an ancient lake transformed Transdanubia — and why its impact is still felt today.

An Inland Sea for Millions of Years

At its greatest extent, the Pannonian Lake covered an enormous area, far surpassing the size of today’s Balaton. For millions of years (approximately 12 to 8.5 million years ago), it dominated the region. As surrounding mountain ranges gradually rose, the lake became cut off from the world’s oceans. Its water slowly turned fresh, and its basin began to fill with sediments. Because of its isolation, the lake developed a unique ecosystem with many endemic species.

The Lake Didn’t Appear Overnight

The Pannonian Lake didn’t simply “appear” in the Carpathian Basin. Its formation was the result of millions of years of tectonic activity and shifting climate. It emerged as an independent, enclosed body of water — no longer connected to the open seas.

Deep Waters, Varied Shores

In some areas, the lake reached depths of over 1,000 meters. Elsewhere, shallower zones supported lagoons, river deltas, and small, isolated lakes. During high water periods, rocky shorelines formed along the mountain fringes — traces of which can still be found today in the Keszthely Hills and the Mecsek Mountains.

The Lake’s Retreat — and Sediment Legacy

Despite its size, the lake was eventually filled in by immense volumes of sediment, carried mainly by rivers flowing from the Alps and the Carpathians. Over the course of 6.5 million years, it gradually disappeared from the landscape.

What did it leave behind?

Its sediments — composed mostly of sand, clay, and fine silt — became the so-called “Pannonian formations,” which today hold key mineral resources (such as petroleum) and aquifers. These formations define much of the surface geology of Transdanubia, including the Zala Hills.

Fertile soils later formed on the laminated silty and clay-rich deposits of the Somló Formation. Even the legendary “Tihany goat’s hoof” fossils — actually worn shell fragments of the Congeria ungulacaprae mollusk — can still be found embedded in these ancient layers.

The Final Lakes and a Gradual Goodbye

Because most of the sediment entered from the northwest, north, and northeast, the lake slowly retreated toward the south and southeast — as if it were “withdrawing” from what is now Hungary.

Small remnant lakes persisted for much longer in areas of present-day Slavonia (Croatia) and northern Serbia, but due to their different scale, character, and fauna, they are not considered true successors of the ancient Pannonian Lake.

lead: A loaf worth traveling to Rezi for. At Gábor's bakery, you can taste not only traditional sourdough bread but also loaves made from ancient grains like einkorn wheat.
tartalom: + 1 Sourdough bread from Rezi In a quiet street near the vineyards of Rezi, the air is filled with the unmistakable aroma of freshly baked sourdough bread. This is where you’ll find Kelemen Kenyere Bakery, where Gábor Kelemen bakes each loaf by hand, driven by his passion for traditional craftsmanship. Though bread requires only a few ingredients — flour, water, sourdough starter — making it demands time, patience, and precision. Baking bread is a long process, requiring dedication: the baker rises at night, bakes at dawn, and sells fresh loaves in the morning. It’s a true calling. Gábor’s breads stand out thanks to his carefully selected flours and unique flavors — his personal favorite being onion and bacon. Bringing quality sourdough to the countryside Gábor learned the art of baking in Zalaegerszeg and began his career in Keszthely. After gaining experience abroad, working at a French bakery in England, he returned home with a dream: to open his own bakery in Rezi. He and his family were driven by the belief that people in rural areas also deserve access to high-quality bread — not by mass production, but by passion. This commitment is reflected in Gábor’s meticulous choice of ingredients, following recommendations from the Hungarian Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (ÖMKi), among others. His goal isn’t to bake bread for everyone, but to create a place where bread is still real: a loaf that stays fresh for five days and actually has flavor. The sourdough process At Kelemen Kenyere, every product is sourdough-based, made only with flour, water, salt, and starter — plus the extra flavors Gábor adds to enrich his loaves. No additives, enhancers, or artificial rising agents are used. Each loaf takes 24–30 hours to make: the dough is mixed, folded, rested, and carefully monitored throughout the fermentation process. This extended fermentation not only enhances the bread’s flavor but also improves digestibility and shelf life. The bakery uses a variety of carefully selected flours: wheat, rye, spelt, einkorn, and heritage Bánkúti wheat — available in wholegrain versions as well. Alongside classic white and wholegrain breads, you’ll find specialties like sun-dried tomato, onion-bacon, and multi-seed loaves. A particular highlight is the walnut-einkorn sourdough, made with einkorn flour sourced from nearby Zalaszentlászló. In addition to bread, Gábor bakes pretzels, ciabatta, and traditional sweet brioche. Shop & Market The bakery in Rezi is open on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 5 PM, when fresh loaves hit the shelves. On Saturdays, you can also find Gábor’s breads at the Hévíz Farmers’ Market. Product highlights Walnut & einkorn sourdough bread This special sourdough loaf is made from one of the oldest known grains — einkorn wheat, also called "one-grain wheat." Gábor sources his einkorn flour locally from Zalaszentlászló. Einkorn boasts excellent nutritional properties, remaining unaltered by modern breeding. Compared to conventional flours, einkorn has higher protein and fiber content and is rich in antioxidants. To further boost its nutritional value, Gábor adds toasted walnuts to the loaf. As with all his breads, the dough is naturally leavened with sourdough starter and undergoes a long fermentation process, making it both flavorful and easier to digest. The walnut pieces add texture and a rich, nutty taste to every slice. The crust is crisp, the crumb is elastic and full-bodied. Gábor bakes without preservatives, yeast, or additives — offering bread that is both delicious and healthy.

About 10,000 years ago, rapid climate warming triggered a cascade of natural responses: torrential floods, landslides, and intense rock weathering. The landscape we walk on today was not shaped over mere centuries, but by the dramatic forces of climate and water, working together. Did you know that the Zala Valley floor is made up of sediments deposited by a kind of "river of time"? Discover how the Earth’s surface became one of the most sensitive indicators of climate change.

Climate Change: Not Just a Modern Phenomenon

We often associate climate change with contemporary issues, but Earth’s climate has shifted many times throughout its history — sometimes quite rapidly. Within large-scale climatic cycles, alternating periods of warming and cooling have long been part of the planet’s natural rhythm.

When Climate Changes, Everything Reacts

A change in climate sets off a chain reaction of environmental processes. It’s not just animals and plants that respond — so does the landscape itself.

Around 10,000 years ago, as the climate warmed significantly, rainfall became more intense.

More rain meant more erosion: stormwater began washing away sediment from hills and valleys into riverbeds. The rivers, now carrying more water and more sediment, flooded more often and spread these materials across the landscape.

Shaping the Terrain

This had a major impact on topography: the land surface became more fragmented and dynamic. Warming temperatures also sped up chemical and physical weathering, breaking down bedrock and helping fertile soil layers to develop.
 In short, natural geological processes that had long been underway suddenly accelerated — and reshaped the surface of the land.

Young Sediments at the Base of the Slopes

Today, in many areas of the region, the lower slopes and valley edges are coated with sediment — debris washed down from higher ground, largely within the last 10,000–20,000 years. In the Zala Valley, for instance, these deposits have spread so far that they now reach the center of the valley floor.

The original bedrock source of these sediments varies: in Zala, it’s typically Pannonian sand (Somló Formation), while in the Keszthely Hills, marine-origin carbonates dominate — mostly dolomite, with some limestone. These sediments now appear as fine gravel, pebbles, or coarse sand, quietly recording the environmental changes of the recent past.

lead: Every drop is precious! From the sea buckthorn grown on the Bocfölde plantation, you’ll get 100% pure juice, jam, powder, tea, and seed oil — bringing you the best of nature.
tartalom: + 1 A superfruit from Bocfölde On a quiet hillside near Bocfölde, vibrant orange sea buckthorn berries ripen by September. This is home to Kiss Sea Buckthorn, a family-run farm where every part of the plant is hand-harvested and processed into juice, jam, oil, powder, and tea. Márta Lakatos-Kiss and Károly Kiss made the switch from livestock to sea buckthorn cultivation, inspired by their children’s idea to explore new possibilities with their land. In 2015, they planted their first shrubs. By 2017, they were selling fresh sea buckthorn juice at markets, and by 2018, they were showcasing their products at festivals. Sea ​​buckthorn high in vitamin C are worth fighting for Sea buckthorn is a hardy plant, but harvesting and processing it is labor-intensive and not for the faint-hearted. Its tiny berries grow densely on thorny branches, making mechanical harvesting impossible. Márta and Károly hand-cut the branches with pruning shears, then freeze them to make berry removal easier. They ensure nothing goes to waste: the pulp becomes juice and jam, the skins are dried and ground into powder, the seeds are cold-pressed into oil, and the leaves are dried for tea. Sea buckthorn is a true superfruit — rich in vitamin C, sustainable, and fully utilized. Nothing goes to waste All Kiss Sea Buckthorn products are made exclusively from their own hand-picked, frozen berries. Their first product was freshly pressed 100% sea buckthorn juice, still made fresh for each market day in their Bocfölde workshop. Over time, they expanded their offerings with sea buckthorn powder and cold-pressed seed oil. A standout favorite is their sea buckthorn jam — mildly tart and not overly sweet, loved by those seeking a more natural flavor. Their cold-pressed seed oil, with its rich orange-brown hue, can be used both internally and externally. Drizzled over salads or taken by the teaspoon, it supports healthy skin, eyes, hair, and nails. Thanks to its high vitamin E content, it also serves as an effective anti-aging addition to natural cosmetics. Sea buckthorn powder adds a citrusy twist to baked goods and blends perfectly into yogurt or oatmeal. Visit the plantation The farm is located in Bocfölde, near Zalaegerszeg. While they don’t have regular visiting hours, Márta and Károly welcome guests by appointment, offering tours of the plantation and on-site product purchases.   Product highlights Sea Buckthorn Jam – Tart, Natural, Vitamin-Rich Márta’s jam contains 80% sea buckthorn and 20% apple. The apple softens the tartness and helps achieve the perfect texture — the focus is on preserving nutrients, not creating an overly sweet spread. After harvesting and freezing the berries, Márta steams them gently (without boiling), then presses them through a fine sieve to remove seeds and skins. The mixture is sweetened lightly with birch sugar and thickened with pectin. The jam undergoes careful heat treatment to retain its high vitamin content. The result is a mildly thick, pleasantly tart jam — perfect on toast, with yogurt, in pancakes, or as part of a cheese board.

tartalom: + 1 The sweetest form of love: a perfectly baked pastry Have you ever tasted a honey gingerbread cookie that melts in your mouth? MézÉdes Műhely’s signature product has gained nationwide recognition thanks to its perfect texture and secret spice blend. Come and discover the delightful treats crafted in the fragrant kitchen of MézÉdes Műhely! When two passions meet Adorjánné Baráth Mónika and her daughter, Adorján Bori, once ran a family restaurant. Over time, Bori found herself more and more drawn to dessert-making. Inspired by guests’ feedback and her own love of baking, she completed pastry school, combining professional expertise with artisan methods. Mónika, however, mastered homestyle baking at home, delighting her family daily with sweet “tészták” — as pastries are affectionately called in Zala. Their first large-scale order came from a hotel in Hévíz for edible Christmas gifts. Instead of gingerbread, they revived an old family recipe: honey gingerbread cookies. During the pandemic, as the restaurant industry paused, the growing success of their gingerbread led them to a new path. The family closed their restaurant and founded MézÉdes Műhely — not as a traditional pastry shop, but as a creative workshop where they could bake without compromises, at their own rhythm. Modern cakes & traditional pastries Today, everyone has their own specialty at MézÉdes Műhely. Bori is the master of modern cakes, tarts, macarons, and custom orders, while her mother Mónika focuses on traditional pastries — layered honey cakes, cream slices, flódni, and zserbó. Many recipes are cherished family heirlooms, passed down from great-grandmothers, aunts, and grandmothers, now adapted to their own taste. Each dessert includes a personal twist — making it homely, unique, and unmistakably MézÉdes. Honey gingerbread cookies that spark sweet memories MézÉdes Műhely’s honey gingerbread cookies are a nostalgic journey, evoking the warmth of grandma’s kitchen and the comforting aroma of Christmas spices. Coated in a white sugar glaze, these cookies delight not just with their appearance, but with their taste and texture. Each bite melts gently in your mouth. The secret lies in their custom-made spice blend of eight aromatic spices. The honey, sourced from a local beekeeper in Gyenesdiás, ensures an authentic, rich flavor. Mónika and Bori enjoy experimenting with new flavors. A recent innovation is their wholegrain version, made with spelt and wheat flour. One of their summer favorites is lavender-flavored gingerbread, made with lavender grown, harvested, and dried from their own garden. Not a pastry shop — A family atelier MézÉdes Műhely is not a conventional pastry shop. Their sweets are made to order and sold at the Hévíz Farmers’ Market. Personal interactions — whether through market tastings or scheduled visits — are an essential part of their philosophy.   Product highlights Honey gingerbread cookies MézÉdes Műhely’s flagship product, the honey gingerbread cookie, comes in a variety of flavors. The dough is dense yet soft, melting instantly in the mouth — no need to wait days for it to soften. The perfect texture is achieved using a traditional recipe: flour, sugar, margarine, eggs, sour cream, baking soda, and a secret spice blend of eight ingredients. Each cookie is hand-rolled, placed individually on baking trays, and, after baking, dipped by hand into sugar glaze. They are then carefully lined up to dry — every piece crafted with care. Flavors include both classic and unique variations: plain, plum-rum, cranberry, candied orange, ginger (without glaze), cocoa with chocolate chips, and seasonal lavender. The lavender used in summer varieties blooms every June in the workshop’s garden.   Where to buy: Hévíz Farmers’ Market 8380 Hévíz, Egregyi Vineyard 38 Google Maps More information & Contact: Facebook Phone: +36 30 658 6739

Imagine a vast body of water — over 1,000 meters deep and more than 400 times the size of Lake Balaton — once rippling across this land. The story of the Pannonian Lake is not just a fascinating chapter of geological history, but a legacy that continues to shape the region: it left behind mineral resources, fertile soils, and even inspired legends. Discover how an ancient lake transformed Transdanubia — and why its impact is still felt today.

An Inland Sea for Millions of Years

At its greatest extent, the Pannonian Lake covered an enormous area, far surpassing the size of today’s Balaton. For millions of years (approximately 12 to 8.5 million years ago), it dominated the region. As surrounding mountain ranges gradually rose, the lake became cut off from the world’s oceans. Its water slowly turned fresh, and its basin began to fill with sediments. Because of its isolation, the lake developed a unique ecosystem with many endemic species.

The Lake Didn’t Appear Overnight

The Pannonian Lake didn’t simply “appear” in the Carpathian Basin. Its formation was the result of millions of years of tectonic activity and shifting climate. It emerged as an independent, enclosed body of water — no longer connected to the open seas.

Deep Waters, Varied Shores

In some areas, the lake reached depths of over 1,000 meters. Elsewhere, shallower zones supported lagoons, river deltas, and small, isolated lakes. During high water periods, rocky shorelines formed along the mountain fringes — traces of which can still be found today in the Keszthely Hills and the Mecsek Mountains.

The Lake’s Retreat — and Sediment Legacy

Despite its size, the lake was eventually filled in by immense volumes of sediment, carried mainly by rivers flowing from the Alps and the Carpathians. Over the course of 6.5 million years, it gradually disappeared from the landscape.

What did it leave behind?

Its sediments — composed mostly of sand, clay, and fine silt — became the so-called “Pannonian formations,” which today hold key mineral resources (such as petroleum) and aquifers. These formations define much of the surface geology of Transdanubia, including the Zala Hills.

Fertile soils later formed on the laminated silty and clay-rich deposits of the Somló Formation. Even the legendary “Tihany goat’s hoof” fossils — actually worn shell fragments of the Congeria ungulacaprae mollusk — can still be found embedded in these ancient layers.

The Final Lakes and a Gradual Goodbye

Because most of the sediment entered from the northwest, north, and northeast, the lake slowly retreated toward the south and southeast — as if it were “withdrawing” from what is now Hungary.

Small remnant lakes persisted for much longer in areas of present-day Slavonia (Croatia) and northern Serbia, but due to their different scale, character, and fauna, they are not considered true successors of the ancient Pannonian Lake.
