Hajdúszoboszló is located in the north-eastern part of the Great Hungarian Plain, 200 kilometres east of Budapest and 20 kilometres south-west of Debrecen. Three regions meet at our town's boundary: the Hajdúhát ridge from the north-north-east, the Hortobágy from the north-north-west, and the Great Sárrét and Berettyó regions from the south. This is a landscape "where the earth meets the sky", it is not a monotonous plain, not even for travellers accustomed to romantic mountains since here and there the landscape is enlivened by the backwaters of the River Tisza with patches of reed, thousands of wild fowl and inviting groves. The surroundings are the renowned puszta, the "glorious plain". Szoboszló lies at a height of scarcely 100-110 metres above sea level and slopes down a little towards the Hortobágy. We even have a "river" of our own, a stream winding through the town, the Kösely, which according to a native of the town, Endre Hőgyes (1847-1906), the famous physician and scientist, is as characteristic of this place as is the Danube of our capital city.

One of the natural values of the region, besides the fertile agricultural areas, the gas fields and the medicinal water, is the abundance of sunshine. The number of hours of sunshine reaches, or sometimes even exceeds, two thousand hours on an annual average. That is to say, Hajdúszoboszló is one of the sunniest regions in Hungary. The prevailing wind is north-western. While the micro-climate of the medicinal baths and the surrounding parked area, together with the iodine content and salty humidity of the air speed up recuperation visitors here always have a good chance to enjoy fine weather, for to be sure, the number of winter days is merely 30-40, with an average temperature of 0 °C, and the number of summer days with an average temperature of 25 °C is 80-85.

Accessibility to the spa is ideal. It is easy to reach by rail for the town is located on the Budapest-Debrecen-Nyíregyháza-Záhony main rail-line. Every express train, six Inter-City expresses, and also two international trains stop here. During summer there is a direct connection to Lake Balaton. The timetable for railway line No. 100 gives precise information on all possibilities of access. Highway No. 4 between Budapest and Záhony, which runs through the town, interconnects many other smaller and bigger routes ensuring good travelling conditions for those coming here by car or any other modes of transportation. The modern motorway No. 3 can similarly be reached quickly from here, for instance in the direction of Hortobágy-Tiszafüred-Füzesabony. Long-distance coach services connect the various regions of the country with this town of "miraculous springs". Once again there is the opportunity to approach Szoboszló by air, as well, thanks to Debrecen Airport.

Local transport from the railway station to the town centre and the holiday district is provided for by regular bus services and taxies running from early morning until late at night.
