Change language:
This will be the greatest novelty in the Hungarian bathing sector, one of the most crucial in Hungary’s tourism in 2024.
Bathing has a long tradition in Makó, Southeast Hungary. Locals found thermal water there in 1956, the year of the Hungarian anti-Communist revolution and freedom fight. Therefore, the first thermal bath was opened there already in the 1960s. But the opening of the Hagymatikum bath in 2012 was a huge leap forward in that respect, since the previous one was small.
The building was designed by Imre Makovecz, one of the prominent proponents of organic architecture in Europe, in the 20th century. He designed multiple unique architectural solutions, so the Hagymatikum became one of a kind. However, the project ran out of money, so they could not realise all of Makovecz’s ideas. Furthermore, the original plans were about a more extended bathing complex. But what is delayed is not lost.
The Hungarian government helped the Hagymatikum
According to termalonline.hu, a Hungarian news outlet writing about baths, beaches and plages, finishing the Hagymatikum will probably be the greatest thermal novelty in Hungary this year.
