Location and History
Balf, located in North-Western Hungary is a historic Hungarian village: it was first mentioned in 1199, but it is known that the ancient Romans already inhabited the area: they were the first to explore the region’s healthy sulphuric springs.
It became an important township in this region only in the 16C.This time some Austrian engineers started to regulate the springs here. In the 17C the first modern bathing facilities were built. When the railway had been laid down, more guests could reach the spa, so some reconstructions were needed. New hotels and healing pavilions were built. In the 20C, until the Second World War, the spa life of Balf flourished. After the war, for some reasons, its popularity diminished. One rediscovered the possibilities in this region, and the mineral water only after the 60s.
Although Balf with its atmosphere of intimacy is a place of complete rest, there are also lots of interesting things to see and do.
The village, with a population of a thousand people is seven kilometers to the south of Sopron, the regions largest city.
