Élővíz (Live Water) Canal

The Live Water Canal, excavated by the residents between
1772 and 1777, played a key role in the development of
agriculture and the transportation of wood cut in Transyl-
vania. Here, along the banks of the channel which starts
from the White-Körös River and falls into the Kett ős-
Körös River, a cosy sculpture promenade has been built,
and the sculptures preserve the memory of the famous
people who are connected to the town.

Széchenyi Park
One of the most charming parts of Békéscsaba is the park
on the banks of the Élővíz Canal, where the landscaping
was started in 1865 based on the plans of urban engineer

Ernő Sztraka. The park is our town’s ‘refreshing spot’ due
to its promenades surrounded by large, lush trees, fresh
air, and the singing of cheerful birds.

Árpád Spa and Swimming Pool

The Árpád Spa and Outdoor Swimming Pool, built in
1927, waits for its guests with 10 pools, including pools
with thermal water with a temperature of 36 degrees

Celsius. The medicinal water is capable of alleviating the
joint-rheumatic and the musculoskeletal complaints. Next
to the thermal pools, the Turkish Spa offers hot steam and

a Finnish sauna to guests. The outdoor swimming pool

and adventure spa with a giant slide, a children’s pool and
teaching pool, and a swimming pool that is open all year
round are favourites of families.

CsabaPark
CsabaPark is an event centre to maintain the Csaba sau-
sage tradition, with a sausage museum, a sausage shop, and
a sausage-themed playground.
