Harkányi Gyógyfürdő's thermal water reaches 62°C at the source and is classified as alkaline hydrogen-carbonate sulphur water. Hungary's first developed artesian thermal well was drilled here in 1866 under engineer Vilmos Zsigmondy, reaching 61.2°C from a depth of 37.7 meters. A major bathhouse with roughly 2,000 m² of water surface was built in 1925, establishing Harkány as a significant therapeutic destination. The water is used to treat rheumatic and joint conditions, post-surgical mobility restrictions, fracture recovery, chronic skin conditions, respiratory ailments, and burn wounds.
In 1866, engineer Vilmos Zsigmondy drilled Hungary's first developed artesian thermal well here, reaching 61.2°C water from 37.7 meters — a milestone in Hungarian balneology. A major bathhouse covering roughly 2,000 m² of water surface followed in 1925, cementing Harkány's status as one of Hungary's principal spa towns.
