Get ready for a true summer splash at the Bogács Bath Festival, happening August 2, 2025, at the Bogács Medical and Beach Bath (Bogácsi Gyógy- és Strandfürdő). Dive into a day packed with excitement—there are activities for all ages, from family-friendly games to nighttime swimming and live concerts. One of Hungary’s most beloved pop-rock bands, Bikini, will take the stage, ensuring a party atmosphere. For those with a competitive streak, the “Bath Beauty Pageant” and playful contests will keep the energy high in Bogács, a spa town famous for its vibrant scene and rejuvenating pools.
Swim, Soak, and Stay
This is no ordinary splash park—the complex boasts nine pools: six filled with thermal medicinal water, two kid-friendly pools, and one swimming pool for laps or relaxing. When the sun sets, the adventure doesn’t stop; nighttime bathing brings a whole new level of fun to the festival. The resort area is designed for comfort and variety, welcoming everyone from solo travelers to large families.
Unique Accommodation Options
Looking for a place to stay? The Yurt Holiday Resort (Jurta Üdülőközpont) stands out with three striking, circular buildings shaped like yurts. They’re perfect for larger groups who want to stay together but also enjoy the privacy of smaller rooms. The resort’s second area features five semi-detached houses, offering ten apartments in all—each with thoughtful amenities and one accessible unit for guests with limited mobility.
On the west side of the spa, right by a private entrance, you’ll find the brand-new Stream Party Apartments (Patak-party Apartmanok). These eight upstairs studios offer a mix of seven double rooms (with extra beds for flexible arrangements) and one spacious family suite for up to four guests. Altogether, they can host 25 people at a time.
If you want to arrive with your own tent or caravan, Thermal Camping (Thermál Kemping) awaits. This grassy, shady campsite fits around 250 tents or campers, and also offers cozy wooden cabins—all year round. Nature, peace, and practicality combine here under leafy trees, just steps from the action.
Stay in Style and Comfort
The refurbished Thermal Guesthouse (Thermál Vendégház) offers nine superior rooms—eight doubles (one fully accessible) and a two-bedroom family suite. Completely updated to earn a coveted “three-star guesthouse” rating, it now features a conference hall seating up to 50 people—ideal for workshops, family gatherings, or team events.
For apartment living, the Bogács Thermal Apartments (Bogácsi Thermál Szálló) are split into two buildings: one right by the main entrance, one on the western side. With 18 total rooms accommodating two to four people each (most with extra bed options), there’s enough space for groups of any size.
The Acacia Guesthouse (Akác Vendégház) sits quietly between the sports fields and the famous wine cellar row. Up to eight guests can stay comfortably, with amenities like well-equipped kitchens, spacious living rooms, private baths, cable TV, WIFI, a garden, secure parking, shaded terraces, and BBQ facilities—perfect for families and friends.
Another option, the Ildikó Apartment Guesthouse (Ildikó Apartman Vendégház), sits on a peaceful street close to both the bath and the bustling wine cellars. Hosting up to 12 people, it comes with private bathrooms, kitchens, WIFI, cable TV, green lawns, parking, and even a table tennis table.
The traditional porch house provides four rooms (two doubles, one triple, one quad), each with a private bath and access to a large, leafy garden—self-catering is welcome in the roomy communal kitchen.
Gastronomy, Wine, and Groove
Savor the musical hits of the past three decades while feasting on local cuisine. The wine cellars along Bogács Cellar Row (Bogácsi Pincesor) serve up both classic dishes and seasonal favorites, paired with wines from the Bükkalja and Eger wine regions. You can taste local specialties in a wine bar with nearly 300 years of history—now in a modern setting.
Bacchus Wine Bar (Bacchus Borozó), a member of the accredited Bükkalja Wine Route Association, is open all year for wine tastings and live music. The local wine guild, established in 1996, promotes the area’s quality wines and links gastronomy with local art.
Wildflower Restaurant (Vadvirág Étterem), a longstanding family business, promises a welcoming atmosphere, attentive service, and flavors to revive both body and soul. Whether you crave hearty rural fare, a glass of robust local wine, or a strong coffee, there’s a spot for you to recharge here.
