Miskolctapolca Attractions

The bathing and health resort of Miskolctapolca lies 7km (41/2mi.) southwest of the center of Miskolc in the midst of some superb woodland. The slightly radioactive thermal waters (30°C (86°F)) have been renowned since medieval times for their value in the treatment of nerve and heart problems, hypertension and digestive disorders. The first pump-room was built in the 18th C; the late 19th C baths have remained in use right up to the present day, with only few alterations. They consist of two indoor baths, one open-air pool, and the very popular Cave Bath, in a natural cave (entrance via the thermal baths). A separate small pond, suitable for small boats, and a large open-air swimming pool complete the facilities.
