Velki Medel (formerly Chalovo) in Slovakia is another popular tourist destination for Czechs. Czechs visit from all over the Czech Republic.
There are hot spring pools with water up to 38 degrees Celsius. The water has an excellent effect on the spine, musculoskeletal system, and muscles, and has an overall regenerative effect on the human body. The chemical composition of the water also has a positive effect on joint disease, spinal disease, muscle fatigue, and overall regeneration of the body.
However, there is also an adventure pool and numerous attractions for children, making the spa popular with all ages. There is also a sauna complex and spa. The facility is open all year round, so if you want to go on vacation in the winter, for example, when hundreds of people are not occupying the grounds, it is definitely worth a visit.

Velký Meder is especially popular for its family atmosphere and its delicious, affordable, and abundant cuisine in the spirit of Hungarian gastronomy. Friends and entire families often come here together.
Private apartments are the most popular accommodations. However, most are booked up by the beginning of the year, so it is best to plan ahead.
During the holiday season, i.e., July and August, there are many families, especially those with children. Therefore, if you want more privacy or have young children who are not yet in school, you may want to choose dates in May, June, or September.

If you want to combine your stay with an excursion, don\’t miss a visit to Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, about 65 km from Medel, or to the historic Hungarian town of Gyor, which is only 20 km from Medel and also has hot springs. The town also has numerous historical monuments.
