Thermal Waters and Pools

Hegykői Termálfürdő has indoor and outdoor pools with thermal waters and welcomes visitors year-round for healing, exercise and relaxation. The spa thus offers different ways to spend your time: exercising in the water and taking a quieter break are equally among its stated highlights. The seasonal availability of individual pools may vary. If a particular pool is important to your visit, check whether it is open beforehand. When looking for a holiday apartment in Hegykő, the bath can serve as a guide if thermal waters and pools are among your holiday interests.

Fishing at Hegykői Horgásztó

Hegykői Horgásztó is a gravel-pit lake covering 4.9 hectares, with a depth of 0.5 to 3.0 metres. Fishing is permitted from designated fishing spots. You need a valid area permit and must comply with the fishing regulations. Since the rules may change, check the current regulations before fishing. The area and depth range provide specific details about the lake; for planning, it also matters whether you have the required permit and can comply with the applicable rules. If fishing is important to your trip, take these conditions into account when choosing your accommodation.

Lace Collection and the History of the Iron Curtain

The Csipkeház was established primarily to showcase a unique lace collection. The Vasfüggöny Emlékhely presents a different historical focus: it depicts three phases of the Iron Curtain true to their time, using mainly original materials. The memorial is located at its original site and was partly built from original materials. The collection at Csipkeház and the memorial’s multi-phase presentation thus cater to different cultural interests.

Groups can also visit Csipkeház in winter by prior arrangement. Coordinate any such winter visit with the operator in advance. Vasfüggöny Emlékhely can be reached from Fertő utca, which runs alongside Szent Mihály-templom in Hegykő. This information can help you plan your visit. Check the conditions on site if they are important to your visit.
