Introducing Miskolctapolca
The curative waters of the thermal spa in this southwestern recreational suburb, 7km from the centre of Miskolc, have been attracting bathers since the Middle Ages, though the gimmicky Cave Bath (Barlangfürdő; 561 361; Pazár István sétány 1; adult/child/student 1600/900/1100Ft; 9am-7pm mid-Jul-Aug, 9am-6pm Sep-mid-Jul), with its earth walls, 'mildly radioactive waters' and thrashing shower at the end, is a relatively new arrival (1959). The pretty Strand Bath (Strandfürdő; 368 127; Miskolctapolcai út 1), in the centre of the town's large park, also has outside pools (adult/child 700/550Ft; 9am-6pm May-Sep).
