All Inclusive medical stay from Euro 59 per person per day
Thousands of healed visitors, doctors as well as
scientists have been trying to uncover the secrets of the healing power of Piešťany
Spa for more than 600 years. Nowadays, we know that it is the conjunction of
unusual circumstances that take place only here.
The primary factor is thermal water rising from a depth of 2,000 meters
and bringing certain specific compounds and the energy of the Earth's magma.
This is the main element for creating a unique local product - healing
sulphur mud. It is a special peloid whose composition is the result of a
long term reaction between the thermal water, local soft rocks and specific
bacterial micro flora.
These effects of the thermal water and sulphuric mud are supported by optimal
climatic conditions with the most number of sunny days in this part of
Europe, the richness of the greenery and location of the spa on the Spa
Island, which is an oasis of tranquility and safety. And furthermore,
there is the long-term tradition of proven healing procedures, where the most
important factor is a comprehensive spa stay.
These factors favorably cooperate in healing or reducing the effects of
chronic disabilities of the locomotive apparatus, various forms of rheumatic
arthritis, scoliosis, and post-accident states of the locomotive apparatus and
spine as well as a wide range of specific problems including certain diseases
of civilization and the impact of stress.
Piešťany thermal water – there are ten springs with 1,500
mg mineral substances per liter of mineral water, hydrogen sulphide and other
free gases. The water springs from tectonic breaks at a depth of about 2,000
meters and is trapped at a depth of 60 m, which guarantees its constant
chemical composition and temperature. The water temperature of the springs is
67 to 69 şC. It is a medium mineralized hot water containing sulphates,
hydrogen carbonate, calcium, sodium, and sulphur compounds. It is suitable
both for bathing as well as a drinking cure.
Piešťany sulphur mud is a product from Slovak Healing Spa Piešťany
produced from peloid extracted from the bed of a side channel of the River Váh.
It is used for partial and full-body packs, producing extraordinarily positive
healing effects.
Piešťany climate Piešťany Spa and the town of Piešťany
are situated in the valley of the River Váh, 162 meters above sea level. The
valley is open to the south and extremely sunny. The sun shines an average of
265 days a year. However, large areas of water in the surroundings of the spa
produce a pleasant feeling of freshness, even on the hottest days, while the
dense greenery of spa and town parks offers an attractive place for
relaxation.
Spa Island The main flow of the River Váh that flows behind the
area of the Spa to Sĺňava Lake and its side channel where some of
the thermal springs are located creates the river island where the first spa
facility was established in 1800. This island is protected against floods,
traffic noise, dust and exhalants as well as against anything that would
affect the tranquility or safety of its visitors. The main accommodation
complexes of the spa are located here, as well as balneotherapy centers,
swimming pools, social clubs, sport facilities, all surrounded by the greenery
of the spa parks. Owing to its position and the care of spa personnel, the Spa
Island is one of the safest places at this time when the world has become a
more dangerous place.
