To Europe for thermal waters

As we know from classical literature, there was a custom in pre-revolutionary Russia to go to the waters of Europe. However, only noblemen and rich people went to the spas. Now everyone can go to a spa resort.

Если не затрагивать пользы минеральных вод для организма, то курорты на водах – это мечта гедониста. В России мы пользуемся в основном русскими банями, реже саунами. Но ощущения сладкого головокружения и чувств, сродни опьянению, после погружения в ледяную воду или снег после парной, нам известно. Мы не воспринимаем посещение бани, как наслаждение, скорее, как гигиеническую процедуру.

The tradition of thermal spas comes from very ancient times. The Romans called them thermae and rested there all day long. What is a modern water resort? First of all, it is water from a natural mineral spring. Hot or warm, it rises from a great depth of several thousand meters. Spas have one or more springs of such water. Indoor and outdoor pools are indispensable. And around it is usually a park and sauna, and relaxing on a lounger. Everything for rest, everything for relaxation, everything for the body.
