Budapest is known as the 'City of Spas'. The 'meleg víz' here is often mineral-rich and used for healing. Many 'meleg víz' baths in Buda were built by the Turks in the 16th century and are still functional. In some villages, 'meleg víz' was only available from wood-fired boilers until recently. Hungarians often go to 'wellness' hotels specifically for the 'élménymedence' (adventure pool) filled with 'meleg víz'.
