The Part of the town which has a very romantic and mediterranic feel is the Mill Pond and its surroundings. The Upper-Pond can be reached from the Main Square through a nice and small backyard.
At the Pond the monument of János Batsányi a local born poet welcomes the visitors. The hot water springs that have their sources here, have been banked up by the ancient Romans and used for the mill. Tapolca has been given its name after these springs.
Throughout the centuries the mill has been rebuilt a several times, now it is used as a hotel. It has been named after Gabriella Baumberg the wife of János Batsányi. The Church-Hill which is located next to the Mill Pond is the historical base of the town, where people have already been settled in the Modern Stone Ages.
