Lake Heviz is placed near the town of Heviz in Hungary, close to the western end of Lake Balaton, about 8 km far from Keszthely. At 47,500 square meters surface range, it is Europe's biggest warm lake and the second biggest warm lake on the planet.
Hot waters at diverse temperatures diffuse from crevices under the water's surface, blend with the chilly water of the lake to create a steady temperature that keeps up all through the season. The water is rich in carbonic acid, sulfur, calcium, magnesium, hydrogen carbonate and even somewhat radioactive substances, that is accepted to have therapeutic properties.
At the inside of the lake is a wooden shower house developed in the eighteenth century that appears to be identical as it was more than two hundreds years back. Excellent water lilies, brought to Hungary at the end of the nineteenth century, spot the lake supporting the rich nature. Fog blankets the surface easing off vanishing, and creepers secure the restorative mud on the bottom of the lake.
The peat-bottomed lake is nourished by cool and warm water rich in mineral substance starting in springs placed in a 40 m profound hollow. The stream of the spring is high to the point that it totally renews the lake every 3 days. The temperature of the lake shifts between 23-25 °c in winter and 33-36 °c in summer.
The lake's curative impact is believed to be a result of the interesting mix of natural and inorganic materials found in the waters. Lake Heviz is a naturally dynamic lake and home to a large number of bacteria. A portion of the animal categories found in the waters is extraordinary to the lake.
For example, Micromonospora heviziensis, a microscopic organisms that is an influential protein and cellulose decomposer, must be found here in the whole world. Essentially, for the two thermophile blue green alga species (Pseudanabaena papillaterminata and Pseudanabaena crassa), Lake Heviz is the only Hungarian habitat.
