Lake Hévíz is located in Hévíz, Hungary, near the western end of Lake Balaton, 8 kilometres (5 mi) from Keszhely.
It is the largest swimmable thermal lake in the world (47,500 square meters (511,286 sq ft) in area), second only the Frying Pan Lake in New Zealand, which is too hot for swimming. The flow of water is very strong and the water in the lake is completely replenished every 72 hours. Its minimum depth is 2 meters, reaching a maximum depth of 38 meters, exactly at the point where the hot thermal water comes out towards the surface.
In winter, the condensed steam forms a cap over the lake surface, creating a natural inhalatorium. This ‘cap’ prevents water from cooling down, rejuvenating exhausted vocal cords when inhaled. The lake developed in the same period as Lake Balaton, with its current source welling up 20-22,000 years ago. (In the geological past, Ancient Hévíz welled higher than its current location.) The lake was already used by the Ancient Romans. Several water-lily types inhabit the lake: the European white water lily is indigenous to the area, while the purple lily was brought from India 100 years ago. Thanks to an abundant water supply, the water of the 4.4 ha lake – with a depth of 38 m – is fully replaced every three days. Water quality is continuously controlled through measurements and specially trained divers.
The centerpiece of the bath today, the Turkish bath, was built during the 16th century in the period of the Turkish occupation. Below the 10 m diameter dome, sustained by 8 pillars, there is an octagonal pool. The swimming pool operating as a therapeutic swimming facility with a sauna, was built in 1896. The thermal bath has been visited from 1936 exclusively by men.
In its drinking hall, the water of the springs Hungária, Attila and Juventus can be consumed for the purposes of a drinking cure.

Széchenyi Spa Baths is in the biggest green park of Budapest, in the City Park, close to a bunch of Budapest attractions. The Neo-baroque palace was specifically built for hosting Széchenyi Baths as Hungary has been the country of baths (and Budapest the City of Baths) for many centuries: starting with the Roman settlers who built the first spa baths, through the 16th century Turkish occupiers who built many of the famous and revived Turkish baths in Budapest to the 19-20th century natural medical trends that promote aqua therapies and their deeply beneficial effects. The beautiful building of the spa baths is the design of Győző Czigler who started to build Széchenyi Fürdő in May 1909.

Chimney cake (kürtöskalács) is a cylindrical sugary roll of baked dough covered with walnuts, coconut and other toppings.
It peels off in a spiral, making it fun to eat.
INGREDIENTS
For the dough
1¾ cups plain (all-purpose) flour
2¼ tsp dried yeast powder
2 tbs sugar
⅛ tsp salt
3 tbs butter, melted
2 egg yolks (room temperature)
½ cup milk (room temperature)
For grilling
vegetable oil butter
melted sugar
For the topping
1 cup walnuts,ground
½ cup sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
METHOD
1. Begin by preparing the dough. Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
2. Whisk the liquid ingredients together, and add them slowly to the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture until it forms a light dough.
3. Knead on a lightly floured surface for five to six minutes. Set aside and allow the dough to rise for 40 minutes.
4. Roll out the dough and slice it into a long ribbon.
5. Brush a wooden spit or rolling pin with the vegetable oil. Starting from one end, wrap the dough around the spit, making sure to tuck in the end so that the dough does not unwind. The dough must be kept fairly thin (under 6 cm or 2⅓in) as you stretch and wind it. Roll the wrapped spit on the counter in order to flatten it.
6. Brush the dough with the melted butter, then bake over an open flame for six minutes. Gradually sprinkle sugar on top until it changes to a dark golden color.
7. Mix the walnuts with the sugar and cinnamon. Paint another round of butter on to the dough, then roll the completed pastry in the walnut mixture.
8. Knock the mould on a table to release the cake, then stand upright to cool for several minutes.
