Kehidakustány is a prominent spa destination and historical site located in the Zala River valley, formed by the merger of two ancient villages, Kehida and Kustány. The settlement is widely known for the Kehida Thermal Spa and Adventure Bath, which features 43°C sulfurous medicinal water renowned for treating musculoskeletal disorders. Beyond wellness, the village holds deep significance in Hungarian history as the long-time residence of Ferenc Deák, the 'Sage of the Nation' and architect of the 1867 Austro-Hungarian Compromise. The Deák Mansion, a beautifully restored baroque building, now houses a comprehensive exhibition dedicated to his political career and personal life. Architectural highlights also include the medieval church ruins in Kustány and the baroque Church of the Annunciation in Kehida. The village's geographic location has a peaceful rural atmosphere with access to the Zala Valley bicycle path and nearby hiking trails in the Zala Hills. Visitors can enjoy local culinary specialties such as 'dödölle' (potato dumplings) and dishes prepared with cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil, reflecting the rich gastronomic heritage of Zala County. Kehidakustány perfectly balances health tourism with high-level cultural exploration.
