Heviz
is a small city north of Lake Balaton. Heviz
known as the richest town in Hungary, has excellent international reputation
thanks to its thermal lake.
The main attraction of the town is Lake Heviz,
the largest thermal lake in Europe covering 4.4 hectares and embraced by a
protective forest of 50 hectares. According to current data the lake is 38.5
metres deep. The water gains its heat from geothermal energy. The temperature is
the result of the mixing of hot spring waters gushing up to the surface and
dolomitic water.
In summer the water temperature fluctuates between about
33-35°C most of the time, in autumn and winter the temperature of the lake is
lower depending on the weather, but does not fall below 22°C.
