The Hegykő Thermal Bath combines indoor and outdoor pools with medicinal water. Visitors come year-round for therapeutic treatments, sport and relaxation. If you particularly want to use an outdoor pool during your visit, bear in mind that seasonal pools may have varying operating schedules. Year-round visitor access therefore does not mean that every pool operates equally in every season.

The Hegykő Fishing Lake is a gravel-pit lake covering 4.9 hectares, with a depth of between 0.5 and 3.0 metres. Fishing is from designated fishing spots. A valid area permit is required, and the fishing regulations must also be followed. The permit and applicable rules are therefore part of planning a day of fishing. As regulations may change, check the current rules before fishing.

The focus of the Csipkeház is a unique lace collection: the house was established primarily to showcase it. Groups can visit in winter by prior arrangement. If you are including a visit in your travel plans, confirm the arrangements with the operator in advance.

The Iron Curtain Memorial is devoted to three historical phases of the Iron Curtain. Its presentation is historically accurate and based primarily on original materials. The memorial is at its original site and was partly built using original materials. For orientation, it can be reached from Fertő Street, which runs beside St. Michael’s Church in Hegykő.

The Hungarian part of the lake has been protected since 1977; the Fertő-táj cultural landscape was granted UNESCO World Heritage status on 13 December 2001. This regional context complements the local reasons to visit Hegykő with a distinct landscape and protected-area perspective.
