Egerszalok
Egerszalok is located among the foothills of the
Bukk mountain, only 6kms from Eger and
120kms from Budapest.
It is a very quiet, small village with 1800
inhabitants: ideally suited for recreation and relaxation.
The pride of
the village is the well-known thermal spa and natural salt aggregation.
The
thermal water contains natrium, calcium-magnesium, hydrogen-carbonates and
silica. The quality of the thermal water is high; it is very high ranked among
sulphur contained thermal waters. It is medically proven that, among other
things, the water is well suited for post-treatment of bone injuries or
rheumatism.
Nowadays the thermal spa is fully newed with modern
facilities and services, but tried to keep some of the "magic" of the old times,
when Egerszalok spa was quite natural and simple so called closed to
nature.
Egerszalok offers many accommodations, from guesthouses up to 4star
hotel, offers nice time for families, friends and even corporate
events.
On the northern part of the village there is a big artificial
reservoir (130 acres). The original purpose is to keep rainwater off the village
and also provides water for irrigation to settlements south from Egerszalók.
However, the reservoir is well suited for fishing and different water sports as

"Leanyka" or the red "Bull's blood".
