With its surface area of 10. 9. acres Lake Hévíz is the largest natural thermal lake in Europe. It is surrounded by 123.5 acres of forest land. Besides its medicinal powers the Lake is a unique phenomenon. The only other similar natural phenomenon can be found on the northern island of New Zealand, in Rotorua. The surface of the lake is oval-shaped, its cross section is similar to the shape of an oblique cone. Its present depth is 38.5 metres which i the deepest point at the spring. The lake's water is heated by geothermic energy. Its temperature is the result of the mixing of cold and hot spring water and karstic water. It is about 33-35 °C in most of the summer. In autumn and spring the temperature of the water is lower, depending on the weather, but never below 22 °C.

- Interstitial rheumatism (diseases of the muscular ligaments). "soft-part rheumatism"
- Secondary articular diseases, articular problems associated with metabolic disturbances (e.g. gout) as well as disturbances of the endocrine glands.
- Inflamatory articular diseases joining to skin diseases e.g. articular and vertebral lesions joining to psoriasis
- Conditions after fractures, accidents and operations on organs of locomotion (especially fractures of the limbs) in prerehabilitation phase.

Zalakaros is located in the southwestern part of Hungary, 20 km of Nagykanizsa removes and about 8 km next to the national street &Quot; E 96" lain .The place its present Berümhtheit owes its thermal water that 1962 in Forschungsbohrungen discovered became and as Base for the extension of a new, level full well-being - and Strandbad - complex served, that completes injüngster time Became.At present stands the Gästen a water area of insgesammt 3.500 M2 to that Decree, whereby 1.000 M2 for sport, 1.500 M2 for thermal Find - and 1.000 mz for well-being water basin use. That respectively unterschidlich zussamengesetzte water for that Well-being business, b. z. w. for bathing, comes out of characteristic depth well.That Water supply of the thermal basins becomes through 2 Bn2nnen Middle depth with temperatures of 4.7°C, b. z. w. 52°C Secured, whose capacity amounts to together 2.700 M3/d. That Wells of large form basis of the well-being water supply Deep, that the mesozoische, carbonathaltige, spaltige Heviz Reservoirs tap .In the medicine the Heilbad has its meaning in that Treatment of diseases of the movement apparatus. Recently the physicians imllner grasp more on natural well-being methods back, and there today already the most important, through that Reactions evoked Balneotherapie are measurable, is the treatment of certain illnesses with well-being water of that Medicine eyelet treatment thoroughly gleichzusetzten .Like in that One must use of medicines in the treatment with Well-being water the specific effects, use manner and Know and consider perhaps side-effect.The therapeutic use and the effect examination the well-being water becomes of learned physicians of the Krankenliauses of Nagykanizsa for Inehreren years have carried out, that after Analysis of the experiences and tests to the determination arrived, that the well-being water in many illnesses Is therapeutic effective.The warmth effect the thermal water has favorable influence on chronically ignited Joints and degenerative joint processes, extraartikuläre Diseases of the movement agency and Stürungen the Vegstativen nerves system. Effect chemical Dis the Bathed water varüert correspondingly the chemical Composition. The skin is the medium, over dis that Exercise components of the water during the Badena ihra effect. A part of these elements goes in with the skin a connection And the sogennante Transmineralisation causes.The other part - mainly components minerallischer nature - arrives unchanged Through the skin to deeper lain parts of the organism. The way and the effect of that already after a minute eingedrungenen materials became Also by means of Isotopen - investigations analyzes.One assessed that these materials the reflection mechanisms of the water - and Salt household through the production of Hypophysär Vasopressin, through the Cortison - and aldosteronausscheidung of the Nebennierenrinde, as well as Positively influence the Regulatorfunktion of the nerves system.Under knowledge the Concentration of head, trace - and radioactive elements the to the decree sthende well-being water, has one this with domestic, central european Well-being water place ähnilcher composition compare, b. z. w. Leave examining. 255 Types became from well-being water 11 countries Analyzes .As a result, one could assess, that of the bundesdeutschen baths Wiessee, Endorf, cunning As well as the Italian Salsomaggiore and Margherita di savoia. In that Investigation the 225 well-being water place under a further Viewpoint, namely the concentration of Br, J, F and S2 ions, could assessed become, that only the well-being water of Zalakaros all Elements contains.
