Túrkeve

Visit Túrkeve for a half‑day spa and Bronze‑Age mound walk; add a night if you want to stay at the thermal complex.

Túrkeve is a small town in Jász‑Nagykun‑Szolnok County, known for its spa, Bronze‑Age archaeological sites and the Kevi Sheep Festival. It is reachable by bus from Mezőtúr or Kisújszállás, with no train service. A half‑day covers the spa and a mound walk; a night lets you enjoy the thermal facilities and local food.
