"With this certification, the V.30 V.30 Sports Center has become the first facility in Budapest to function as a sports center in addition to providing thermal water and wellness services," they wrote.

As part of the project to create its own sports center, launched in 2017, the district council had an 800-meter-deep well drilled. The heat produced by this thermal water, without the use of gas, is used to heat the facility and the pools without polluting the air, so it can be used not only for bathing but also for heating the entire building and the pools.
