Thermal springs of Ukraine: where to relax and boost your health this fall

Since September, the weather has been gradually changing. The air is no longer as warm, and the water temperature in lakes and ponds drops sharply. During this period, our body needs care and attention. And the best thing we can give it is organize a weekend at a spa resort. We will tell you where to go below.

Berehove

A town in the Zakarpattia region. The health center is located on the territory of the historical Zakarpattia sports and training complex. It started its work in 1967.

The geyser is located at a depth of 1080 meters. Its healing waters are characterized by high mineralization. They contain silicon, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, chlorides and sodium, which are capable of destroying pathogens.

By the way, they are not filtered at all and retain all their natural properties.

At any time of the year, the water temperature in the pool ranges from +33°C to +36°C, but don't get carried away with water procedures. Medical professionals recommend taking baths for no more than two hours a day.

Most often, people come here with diseases of the musculoskeletal system, heart and blood vessels, urological ailments, and hypertension.

By the way, we recommend visiting the only restaurant in Ukraine where thermal wine is produced -  Chizay Mala Gora. The restaurant is located in the middle of the vineyards. An interesting fact: a spring flows at a depth of 9 meters, which feeds the berry vine.

Veliatyno

The village is located in Khust district of Zakarpattia region. The resort was built in 1990 near Mount Oleksynets. The complex has therapeutic baths with mineral sodium chloride, boron-bromide water with a high iodine content.

The spring water is extracted from a well more than 1000 meters deep. Its temperature is comfortable for bathing - from 30°C to 36°C.

The location is most often chosen by people with diseases of the endocrine, cardiovascular, reproductive, and respiratory systems. Here you can improve your health in the eucalyptus and Finnish saunas, Turkish hammam and salt room.

We also recommend visiting the ruins of Khust Castle. The fortification existed from the XI to the XVIII centuries. It was built to protect the salt route, which began in Solotvyno.

Koson

The village is located in Berehove district of Zakarpattia region. It is home to the Kosyno health and recreation complex. The local thermal waters are colored in a characteristic yellow-brown color. The temperature in the pools ranges from 35°C to 38°C. In the source itself, the liquid warms up to 60°C-80°C.

People come here for rehabilitation after muscle and bone injuries, as well as for treatment of the skin, cardiovascular and nervous systems.

An interesting fact: the resort has the longest bar in Ukraine - it is 27 meters long.

The resort offers a water park, a royal sauna, and a unique Jacuzzi pool called the Garden of Stones.

Vynohradiv

It is a town in Zakarpattia region. The health resort is located at the foot of the Black Mountain. The local waters differ in temperature, mineralization, and chemical composition. They are used both for drinking and for therapeutic baths.

Here you can improve the body's condition in case of diseases of the upper respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular and endocrine systems. Patients can also visit the steam room and Turkish hammam.

By the way, we recommend visiting the ruins of Vynohradiv's Kankiv Castle. The architectural monument is located in the vicinity of the village. The first mention of the building appeared in the IX century in the written anonymous Hungarian chronicle Gesta Hungarorum of 903. Also, be sure to visit the house of Count Zsigmond Perényi, one of the oldest buildings of palace architecture in Transcarpathia.

Nyzhnye Solotvyno

A village in the Uzhhorod district of Zakarpattia region. It is home to a sanatorium with two thermal pools with a high silicon content. The waters have a positive effect on skin condition, reduce the risk of heart disease and strengthen the musculoskeletal system.

The center offers a wide range of wellness treatments: from balneotherapy in modern rooms to relaxation in saunas and baths. Those who enjoy active leisure can go in for sports in the fitness center. There is also a pump-room where you can try a medicinal drink.

We also recommend visiting Uzhhorod Castle. It is located 19 kilometers away. Once a 9th-century fortification, today it is a local history museum. Here, tourists will learn about the history, culture, nature, and way of life of the Transcarpathians. They will also see unique artifacts, folk costumes and furniture.
