Established in 1919, this historic bath combines rich tradition with modern wellness facilities, making it a favorite for locals and visitors seeking peace, family fun, or rejuvenation.

- A dedicated children’s pool and splash area

Please note: the thermal pools — containing mineral-rich healing water — are recommended only for guests aged 14 and above, or for younger children with a doctor’s note, due to the high mineral content and temperature of the water.
