Galgahévíz lies in the northeastern corner of Pest county, 10 km from Aszód. The village has been called "Hévíz" (=Thermal water) since the Middle Ages, referring to the thermal springs breaking out at the border of the village. Both colourful and white embroidery are being made in the village famous for its folk art and folk costumes nowadays, too. The Group of Tradition Conservation gained national fame with its songs and dances. Places of excursions include the Szentandrás hill and its vicinity, and Lake Bika. |
