Hévíz lake is surrounded by a protective forest, the véderdő, planted to shelter it, and by paths that skirt it. Walking all the way round takes about 45 minutes with no climbs: you see the spa building on stilts in the middle of the water, the steam in winter and the water lilies in summer. It is free and is the walk to do before or after a bath, also for those who do not bathe.

Tips

  • Do it in the morning in winter In the cold, the steam over the lake is best seen.
