Therme Bad Bük, one of the largest thermal baths in Hungary
The Bad Bük thermal spa in Hungary is located just a few kilometers from Burgenland away. It is 46 kilometers to the border town of Sopron. It is about the same distance to Vienna as to Lake Balaton. The invitation of the Hunguest Hotel Repce Gold * makes us curious. So far, I have only been to Hungary once. That was in Budapest many years ago. I am all the more excited about what awaits us in the Hungarian countryside.
The development of the Bad Bük thermal baths
The healing waters of Bad Bük were discovered in the 1950s. At that time, there were hopes of finding oil in Bük, Hungary. Instead of oil, the drilling yielded hot water. In 1957, a 70-meter-high column of water shot out of the borehole. The drillers had discovered thermal water at a depth of 1282 meters. This ultimately proved to be a goldmine.

I would never say "no" to a glass of sparkling wine in this private jacuzzi. What makes the devil's sauna so devilish?
Best regards,
Michaela
Hello Michaela,
in the devil sauna, you are sweating at 100 ° C. Pretty devilish, I would say. I was not inside, though. That was too hot for me then.
Best regards,
Monika
Dear Monika,
At first the whole thing did not sound exciting to me and now I would prefer to go to Bük and especially visit a Czárda. Your description has made me so keen on it. Did you read that by reading the newspaper through the vortex yourself?
I like hotels with direct access to spas, which is an important criterion for me when booking a spa hotel. But unlike you, I love buffets. I think it's great to be able to try a lot of things.

Dear Diana,
While I was not able to try reading the newspaper, I could clearly see the pattern of the wooden table under the dough: D. Hotels with direct access to thermal baths we also find great. This makes a spa visit so much more enjoyable. And as for the buffets, I'm probably influenced by my time as a tour guide. Most hotels offered buffets on these trips. Today I prefer boutique hotels with a good restaurant and a la carte menu.
Best regards,
Monika
