Water temperature…
Berekfürdő is a serene spa oasis in the heart of the Great Hungarian Plain, often referred to as the 'Sea of the Hortobágy.' The village owes its existence to the discovery of thermal water in the late 1920s by the renowned geologist Ferenc Pávai-Vajna. The local healing water is exceptionally rich in iodine and bromine, making it highly effective for treating musculoskeletal disorders and aiding in post-surgical recovery. Unlike the larger, crowded spa towns, Berekfürdő maintains a quiet, family-friendly atmosphere with its thermal baths set in a sprawling, shaded park. Its proximity to the Hortobágy National Park makes it an excellent base for nature lovers wishing to explore the unique landscape and wildlife of the Puszta. The village also has a rich history in glassmaking, showcased in its specialized Glass Museum. With its fresh lowland air, therapeutic waters, and authentic regional cuisine, Berekfürdő features a first-rate blend of wellness and traditional Hungarian hospitality.
