Végardó Fürdő

Végardó Fürdő lies at Határ út 2/B in Sárospatak, postcode 3950, in the Tokaj-Hegyalja region of north-eastern Hungary. The operator dates the first thermal well to the drilling carried out in the Végardó part of Sárospatak between 1959 and 1962, which struck water of 47 °C; the first bath opened in 1963 with simple pools and basic services, was enlarged and modernised through the 1970s and 1980s, passed into private hands after the change of system in the 1990s, and gained new pools and wellness facilities from the 2000s on. The operator states that the thermal water is 46–49 °C at the wellhead and describes it as a calcium-, magnesium-, sodium-sulphate, hydrogen-carbonate, fluoride thermal water, which it says acts on joint and vascular complaints and is suitable for gynaecological conditions.

Six pools are listed. The thermal pool is the warmest, built in several levels each at a different temperature, up to 36 °C, and fitted with experience elements. The Acapulco pool is a kidney-shaped summer pool of 500 m² and 1 to 1.2 m depth at 30–32 °C, divided into a bubbling section, a shallow part where a parent can bathe with a small child, and a deeper part with a cave and massage-jet element. The swimming pool, 16 by 25 m and 1.5 to 1.9 m deep, stays in use in the winter season under a tent cover and serves water-polo training and school swimming lessons. The multi-purpose pool, 25 by 33 m and 1.3 to 1.6 m deep, runs at 31–33 °C and serves younger visitors and families, with a small slide beside it and a three-part slide element comprising a kamikaze whose highest point is 8 m, a closed anaconda and a family slide. The children's pool, 16 by 25 m and 0.2 to 0.5 m deep at 29–31 °C, has water-spout elements and is open in summer. The teaching pool, 10 by 16 m and 1 to 1.2 m deep, is also usable in winter under a tent cover and is used for swimming instruction, at 31–33 °C.

The sauna world holds a Finnish sauna, an infrared sauna and a steam cabin, with a spacious rest area and a solarium alongside. Accommodation is run by the bath itself and includes the Végardó guest house, the Rozmaring utca guest houses, a tájház (a traditional village house) and a campsite. The operator gives the opening hours as Monday to Sunday, 8:00 to 20:00.
