Курорт Пьештяны, Thermal spa resort in Piešťany, Slovakia.
Piešťany Spa Resort is a thermal spring complex built on an island in the Váh River, featuring naturally hot mineral-rich water that feeds multiple bathing facilities. The grounds spread across the island with treatment centers and lodging arranged throughout the property.
The Erdödy family built the first bath house, called the Napoleonic Baths, in 1822 following the end of the Napoleonic Wars. This marked the start of organized healing treatments based on the natural springs.
The spa hosts a Social Center where you can see art exhibitions and theater performances throughout the year. This venue connects visitors with the region's creative life and local traditions.
The grounds are well-connected by pathways with multiple entry points, making it easy to navigate around the island facilities. Visiting during quieter periods offers a more comfortable experience than peak times.
The resort uses therapeutic mud created naturally when Váh River sediments mix with mineral water, forming a healing substance unlike ordinary mud. This mud regenerates continuously through the same natural process, keeping its properties intact.
