Legend has it that a Christian nurse once made an earnest prayer to the Holy Virgin to heal a sick child. In response to her plea, a spring burst forth from the depths, accompanied by steaming mud. Miraculously, the hot water and thermal mud cured the child completely. This ancient legend dates back to the Roman age, and the child in question was none other than Flavius Theodosius, the East Roman emperor who famously declared Christianity as the official religion of his empire in 391. This sacred spring continues to feed the unique Hvz Lake, its waters holding the power of healing from that fateful moment.

Chicken Paprikas is another popular Hungarian dish, featuring chicken cooked in a creamy, slightly spicy paprika sauce. The dish is often accompanied by boiled potatoes or other starchy sides like rice or noodles. The combination of the tender, flavorful chicken with the tangy, smoky sauce makes for a satisfying meal that highlights Hungary's beloved spice.
