History

Part of the cave that spans under the hospital served during the II World War as a shelter. The creation of the baths was made possible especially by the underground cave system in which the thermal water originates. Since 1982, Tapolca caves have officially served as a cave-based medical facility under the authority of the Ministry of Health.

Location and climate

From the northern shore of Lake Balaton, the city is 13 km away. Tapolca is located on the western edge of the Balaton Hills, in the middle of the Tapolca basin. The city is surrounded by the Basalt hills of the Tapolsk basin. Where the decanter was poured out of sediments settled in the former Pannonian Sea, it protected them from the abrasive work of wind and water.

Tourist attractions

The city is famous for producing wine, which has always been produced by traditional methods. Wine from this region is known all over Europe. There is also Lake Malom in the city. From the architectural monuments you can see a Roman Catholic church or a Protestant church from the first half of the 20th century. The most sought-after place is Tapolca Lake Cave. This cave, which you find in the heart of the city, was discovered when digging a well in 1903. The three-storey cave system was created with karst water. The bottom floor and the upper part are filled with 19 ° C water. You can then go by boat. Cave climates with a constant temperature of about 15 degrees and almost 100% humidity are suitable for the treatment of allergies, asthma and other respiratory problems. Another part of the cave, which was discovered in 1925, is allocated to the treatment.
