Drilling the Wells

Instead of crude oil, a water column of 65-70 metres gushed to the surface from a depth of 1,282 metres.

Containing 15,200 mg/l minerals, this treasure of 58°C marked a new chapter in the history of Bük and the surrounding settlements. The abundant water spring was named after St. Clement, who released a stream of clear water for the thirsty.

People in the village and the vicinity recognised the health benefits of the thermal water and this year also saw growth in popularity of the activity called "ditch bathing".
