The complex features both traditional sections and modern additions with indoor pools, treatment rooms, and water jet facilities for soaking and hydrotherapy.
The site has been known for its thermal waters for many generations, with structures dating back over a century and serving the local population. Over the decades, the facility has been gradually expanded and updated to offer more therapeutic services while maintaining its original purpose as a healing center.
The baths serve as a gathering place where locals practice long-standing wellness traditions passed down through generations. Visitors often encounter residents who treat these waters as part of their regular self-care routine and daily life.
The facility is easily accessible by car with parking available near the entrance for convenient arrival. It operates seasonally from April to October, so visitors should check current opening times and make advance reservations if planning a full treatment program or group visit.
The water contains a distinctive mineral composition rich in chlorosulfated minerals, which is particularly effective for respiratory and circulatory issues. This unusual composition makes it a destination where visitors seek targeted treatments for these specific health conditions.
