Discover Martfű: Thermal Spa, Church and Hotels

Discover Martfű through a range of visitor interests: its thermal spa, the architecture of the Szent Tamás apostol templom, and the role of Tisza Cipő in fashion. Its transport connections are also part of the town’s character. You can weigh the importance of each of these aspects for your travel plans according to your own interests.

Thermal Spa: Pools and Water Features

The Martfű Hotel Thermal Spa has a 33-metre indoor sports pool with six swimming lanes. The Martfű Termál Spa also has indoor and outdoor therapeutic pools, which differ in water temperature. Features listed for the indoor pools include waist-height massage jets and Jacuzzi beds. Check the pools’ current operating status before you travel.

The thermal water is drawn from a depth of 1,100 metres. Its composition includes bicarbonate, sodium chloride, iodine, bromine and fluoride; it was officially recognised as therapeutic water in January 2003. The therapeutic pool at the Martfű Termál Spa is designed for relaxation and regeneration. The different temperatures of the indoor and outdoor pools, along with the indoor pool features, give you a range of options to consider when planning your visit to the thermal spa.

The Martfű Thermal Spa has child-friendly pools, a playground and comfortable relaxation areas for families. The Martfű Hotel Thermal Spa also has a large green park directly beside the Tisza. In the camping context, three types of accommodation are offered there; this information is intended for campers and does not describe a specific hotel-room offer.

Church Architecture and Organ

The Szent Tamás apostol templom has a floor plan in the shape of a Jerusalem cross. Construction could begin in 1991. Its distinctive architectural and artistic details include the concave dome, created by craftspeople from Gyergyó, and a cornflower-vine-patterned frieze designed by painter Ferenc Takács. The acoustics make it possible to use the organ in concerts. The floor plan, design and acoustics therefore offer different aspects to look out for if you are interested in church architecture.

Cultural Theme and Transport Connections

The role of Tisza Cipő in fashion is another topic: the collection explores this connection. It complements the architectural aspects of the church with a different perspective on Martfű’s cultural themes.

Martfű lies at a junction of road, rail and water transport. This is a local feature to consider when planning your stay, alongside the specific topics of the thermal spa, church architecture and fashion; no specific connections or journey times are described here.

Additional Information for the Wider Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok Travel Destination

As a regional addition: within the wider Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok travel destination, the Tisza-tó in the northern part of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok serves as a tourist centre. The lake and its surroundings are among the region’s outstanding areas for cycling tourism. The international EuroVelo 2 cycle route follows the Tisza through Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok.

The wider Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok travel destination also includes the Tiszakürti Arboretum: it is of botanical significance nationwide, has been a nature reserve of national importance since 2001, and is home to more than 1,000 plant species and varieties. In addition to serving as a botanical collection garden, it is a refuge for natural flora and fauna. The Öregkert area has a signposted 3.5-kilometre network of walking paths. These regional features provide additional information for exploring the wider travel destination; they are not features of Martfű.
