Things to Do  

Smelly thermal lake

Smelly thermal lake, Heviz

 cold_dead_bunny Says:  As it is radon water, it is very healthy for bad bones and skin, but awfully smelly (like bad eggs) and be sure, this smell will be with you during more few hours after leaving the lake. First, its very very deep. I tryed not to think that under my feet is 37 m down.Second,... 

Thermal Lake

Thermal Lake, Heviz

 RandomDreamer Says:  The Thermal Lake here is a natural spa that never falls below 28 degrees centigrade. The lake is both indoors and outdoors. Indoors is beautifully warm although very overcrowded. You convince yourself that you are in a swimming pool until you put your feet on the ground and... 

Walking in the woods

Walking in the woods, Heviz

 mvtouring Says:  The woodland area is not very big, but big enough to get excercise in. We really like walking here and it was very safe. 

Swimming

Swimming, Heviz

 mvtouring Says:  The lake is very deep from the moment you enter it , I would recommend you get a swimming ring even when you think you are a good swimmer. You are not here to swim but rather to relax. If you want to hold onto something you will find wooden areas around the water where... 

HEVIZ THERMAL BATHS

HEVIZ THERMAL BATHS, Heviz

 mvtouring Says:  I would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing day out to visit the thermal baths. There are several car parks around if you are not staying in Heviz. Entrance to the baths can be at a daily rate or per 3 hours. Don't lose you entrance ticket or you will have to pay to get... 

Doing it by train

Doing it by train, Heviz

 mvtouring Says:  One of the nicest ways to explore the town of Heviz is by this little mini train. The cost were minimal and we saw places we would not have seen else. 

Exploring back streets

Exploring back streets, Heviz

 mvtouring Says:  The shops in the back streets had more to offer than the ones in the main road. The handcraft were exquisite and the porcelain so fine, you are afraid to just look at it. 

Somewhere

Somewhere, Heviz

 mvtouring Says:  I am not quite sure anymore where this cafe was, but we found it whilst exploring the town. It was just lovely sitting there watching the people and taking in the town. 

SWIMMING AND FLOATING

SWIMMING AND FLOATING, Heviz

 mel_bee Says:  The lake is very deep from the moment you enter it and unless you swim like a dolphin I would recommend you get a swimming ring. It sounds like a thing only children would do, but actually you will find that everyone else is doing it! The aim of the thermal water after all...

 jonbarb709 Says:  We went to Heviz for the SPA and ended up at the Best Winehouse we have even been in. You have to go. It is right across the street from the Post office, and only about a block from the Catholic Church. You go down about 20 steps and into a fantastic wine restaurant. The... 

vine yards

vine yards, Heviz

 j.turan Says:  when in heviz it is a must to go to the vine yards restaurants. There is a mini train that stops at the bottom of the vine yards. You will need to take 10min walk up to the vine yards. But once there views are unbelievable with more than 20 restaurants to choose from, all...

Me enjoying some hungarian music

For all its tourism, Heviz isn't too noisy a town and you will find people more enjoying the local atmosphere in restaurants and wine bars than partying the night away. I enjoyed the music in one of the local restaurants but I noticed that in the town centre not far from Park Utca (I think Petofi Sandor Utca) there was a nice wine bar.
