The town sits at an elevation of roughly 111 meters (365 feet) and offers different kinds of lodging near the spa facilities. Visitors find access to the thermal baths and to the publicly accessible fountain pavilions inside the park.
Each of the seven springs carries a different mineral composition, so visitors can sample entirely different kinds of water in one place. Some fountain pavilions stand open in the park, allowing people to taste the various waters directly.
