The man of the 20th century's end has realized nature's values are more vulnerable than those of architecture, history or literature. The land where the bath and campsite called Fényes can be found used to be marshy for thousands of years. In the summer of 1747, Sámuel Mikovinyi, a great surveyor of his age at Maria Theresia's order drained the marshes. However, the original state of the Fényes springs and their neighbourhood had been preserved-thanks to the abundantly spouting 22 ºC warm water-until the springs dried up owing to the nearby coal mines. In spite of the devastation caused by the industry, this land still has significant environmental values: there are 300 different species of plants living on the meadows between the springs, some of them are real curiosities. The nomads of the 20th century can set up their tents on that land, they can bathe in the pools-there is only one thing they are not allowed to do: ruining the environment.
