alrededores el lago volcánico de agua termal más grande de Europa con 47.000
metros cuadrados de extensión. Tiene forma de embudo , llegando a 45 metros de
profundidad en el centro, donde surgen las aguas calientes que, al llegar a la
superficie, se mantienen en unos 35 grados en verano y 26 en invierno.
El agua del lago tiene varios miles de años y se alimenta de fuentes
kársticas. Por su alto contenido en azufre, bajos índices en radón , con
hidrocarbonatos y elementos alcalinos, está indicada para el tratamiento de
patologías musculares y reumáticas. Debido a su elevada mineralización tiene
un extraordinario valor terapéutico. También son curativos los lodos del fondo
del lago. En época estival, los nenúfares cubren el lago y ofrecen una
espléndida estampa del lugar.
Héviz dará la bienvenida a sus visitantes mostrando su riqueza termal y
toda la belleza de sus jardines adornados con esculturas que mejoran su aspecto
de ciudad ecológica , distinguida en 1998 , con la medalla de plata premio "Europa
