Kaba – Spa and Culture
Accommodation in Kaba
Kaba combines a Municipal Spa with a railway line that runs through the built-up area and several memorial sites. The railway station is on the northern edge of the town. This gives you concrete points of reference for planning your trip: the baths, local history and the station’s location can be considered as different aspects of your stay.
Kaba at a glance
Kaba Municipal Spa operates four pools: a swimming pool, a children’s pool and two thermal pools with different water temperatures. The spa also has water features and jets. In Kaba, monuments and memorial markers commemorate the 1857 meteorite fall, victims of war and the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.
What does Kaba Municipal Spa offer?
The four pools differ in function: alongside the swimming pool, there is a children’s pool and two thermal pools whose water temperatures differ. The thermal water from Kaba is 47 °C and is described as alkaline, bicarbonate medicinal water. The temperature refers to the thermal water; the pools are described as two pools with different water temperatures.
The spa also features a rock waterfall, neck showers, waist massage jets and bubbling loungers. If you are planning a stay that includes time for bathing, you will find several specifically named features here, ranging from the swimming and children’s pools to the thermal pools. You can weigh up the different pools and additional water and massage features according to your interests when planning your time at the baths.
What role does the railway play in getting your bearings?
The Budapest–Záhony railway line runs through Kaba’s built-up area; the station is on its northern edge. This location provides a useful spatial reference point when exploring the town’s layout. This information describes the route of the line and the station’s location, not timetables or connections. To compare other destinations, you can also include Földes, Báránd, Püspökladány, Bihartorda, Nádudvar and Sárrétudvari in your search.
What memorial sites and cultural monuments are there?
A memorial stone in the park in front of the Mácsai Sándor Cultural Centre commemorates the meteorite fall on 15 April 1857. The Kaba meteorite was the first meteorite in which organic material was detected. The specific anniversary of the fall and the meteorite’s significance in the history of science thus offer two different ways of approaching the subject.
A monument by the Reformed Church, created by L. Lakatos Aranka in 2007, marks the 50th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. In the church garden, a statue created by Gách István in 1921 commemorates 284 people who fell in the First World War. Another landmark in the town’s history is the statue of Saint Stephen by Győrfi Lajos: it was unveiled on 20 August 2000 in the square in front of the rectory. The names of 233 victims of the Second World War from Kaba are also inscribed on seven oak posts.
A Székely gate created by Papp Jenő is also among the described markers of the town’s history. Kaba received it from Nyikómalomfalva in exchange for a relief shipment to a place affected by the major flood of 2005. Together, these monuments and memorial markers refer to different events and forms of remembrance, but they need not be understood as a single walking route.
