Curative waters abound in Slovakia: water heavy in therapeutic minerals, thermal springs and delicious mountain sources.
Each spa location features water specific to one or more health conditions, but each tends to draw the general public as well. Hotels in the area welcome those who wish to stay longer, and to take advantage of complete treatments, but day visitors also enjoy coming to bathe, to drink the waters and just to relax in the lovely surroundings.
