Résumé
Introduction. The healing properties of Lake Hévíz waters have been known since immemorial time even at the end of the Stone Age. The city and the bath began to develop in the 18th century. Lake Hévíz, is the second largest thermal lake in the world, but biologically the largest active natural lake. Its temperature is affected by the combination of hot and cold thermal waters. The water flows in a cave with a flow of approximately 410 liters per second, with a temperature of 40°C. The biological stability of the lake is shown by the temperature of the water, which has not changed even in the coldest days of winter it does not fall below 24°C, that makes it possible to bathe in the lake all year round. In summer, water temperature can reach 37°C.
