General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters / contrat de distribution | | Hungarian term or phrase: Siofok-Balatonszabadi Fürdő Station | "Siofok-Balatonszabadi Furdo Station and Galerius Wellness and Adventure Bath is less than a 10-minute walk from the guest house. The main square in Siofok is 10 minutes away by car."
The text is an excerpt from the description of an hotel in Siofok, Hungary.
This is not really a terminology issue, I would just need some Hungarian speaker to please explain what kind of "station" is this - a railway or metro station? or is it something like a spa? (I know that "fürdő" means "bath").
Thanks a lot! |

| | English translation:Siófok-Balatonszabadi Fürdő [állomás] | Explanation:
Hi Silvia,
Actually, fürdő may be spa as you thought, but in this case it is much more a beach. But whatever we call it, in this precious case, Fürdő is part of the name of the place, so you have wrote it correctly.
Station means train station, wrote as állomás in Hungarian. |

| Reference: Siófok / Lake Balaton tourist guide
Reference information:
You may find this web site useful to better understand your source text and see the surrounding area. It is definitely a railway station, the line goes around Lake Balaton, Hungary's largest lake. So yes, station is a railway station ("vasútállomás"), Siófok is the largest and probably most popular city on the shore, and "fürdő" stands for "bath".
"Siófok has been the center of summer recreation on the southern shore of Lake Balaton, Hungary for a long time.
Its well kept beach stretching 17 km long is the longest beach and its port is the busiest around the lake."
