  2. Saint Anna Lake
    1h · Admission ticket included
    In one of the twin craters of the Csomád Mountain was formed Central Europe`s only volcanic lake, the charming Saint Anne Lake. Its surface is about 949-950 m above sea level and it is part of the Mohos Nature Reserve. Its charm for tourists has the roots into the legends surrounding this place, the beautiful landscape, the healing properties and into the fact that it is also a great place to get in touch with nature and relax.

    The locals believe that if you have a bath in the water the fairy of the lake will protect you for a year.

The inhabitants of the area have used these natural resources in curative purposes for hundreds of years. First we climb up to the Sulphurous Cave, which is the world's most active moffet, daily emanating more than 4000 m3 gas.
