When you regard the idyllic waterfall beside the terrace, it’s hard to believe it’s not natural.

These falls only came about in the late-1920s, as the Szinva had to be redirected to make way for the Palace Hotel.

Either way, at 20 metres high it’s the highest waterfall in Hungary, and changes with the seasons.

In spring there’s a roaring discharge, come August there’s not much more than a gossamer trickle, while in mid-Winter the waterfall will freeze all together.
