The Heviz Lake is a geological curiosity, Europe's largest thermal lake -
a warm water lake situated in a peat-bed. The 4.44 ha water-surface
lake is surrounded by a 60.5 ha nature conservation area. Springs of
different temperatures diffuse in a narrow cave, and became a constant
(38,5 °C) temperature stream when entering the lake. Beautiful water
lilies, brought to Hungary at the end of the 19th century, dot the lake,
supporting the eco-life, with leaves slowing down evaporation, and
creepers protecting the medicinal mud on the bottom of the lake.
