What are the features of thermal springs in Russia?
In the Altai Territory, the Belokurikha resort deserves the attention of travelers - it is famous for its thermal springs. These hydrocarbonate-sodium-sulphate radon waters contain nitrogen, fluorine and silicon. Those who are fighting allergies and who also want to try on themselves the effect of water, which has an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect, should go here.
Kamchatka is famous for its 150 thermal springs, but it is important to know that not all of them are drinkable. So, Tumrok thermal springs contain arsenic. Its concentration in water is 3 times higher than the maximum permissible values even for medicinal water. But in these waters (+ 42-52˚C) you can swim (water, where arsenic and boron are in increased concentration, has medicinal value).
If we talk about the Vilyuchinsky hot springs, then their location is in the upper part of the Vilyucha river valley: the water has a temperature of + 60˚C, and it contains up to 100 mg / l of silicic acid.
Glory to the Krasnodar Territory was brought by 32 thermal springs, although only 13 of them are actively used. The most interesting are the iodine-bromine wells of the sanatoriums “Solnechnaya Polyana” (Apsheronsk) and “Mineralny” (Khadyzhensk). It is recommended to undergo treatment here for people suffering from hypertension, atherosclerosis, eczema, varicose veins, rheumatism, inflammatory processes in the uterus, gout and other diseases.
Tyumen
In the vicinity of Tyumen, everyone will be able to find comfortable thermal springs - throughout the year the water temperature in them is + 36-45˚C. The most popular sources are those located at the following recreation centers:
- "Verkhniy Bor": the spa-hotel "Istochny" is located on its territory - it provides guests with an infrared and Finnish saunas, hot tubs, a jacuzzi, a spa capsule, a cedar barrel, an outdoor pool filled with hot mineral water (there are also hydromassage installations and waterfalls).
- "Sosnovy Bor": pleases guests with 2 pools with thermal water (temperature + 36-38˚C), which is supplied from a well from a 1246-meter depth.
Aushiger village
The village of Aushiger (Kabardino-Balkaria, Chereksky District) is popular for its thermal springs flowing from a 4000-meter depth (the water is “warmed up” to + 50˚C).
Local water is added to baths for those who suffer from diseases of peripheral blood vessels, acne, osteochondrosis, neurodermatitis. And as a drink, it is prescribed for those suffering from gastritis, obesity of I and II degrees, gout. In addition to water, a healing effect can also be obtained from the use of blue clay.
Goudzhekit thermal springs
Swimming in the water of springs (their temperature is almost + 50˚C), located 25 km from Severobaikalsk, is recommended for people diagnosed with skin, female, diseases of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. For this, a bath is provided in the form of 2 outdoor pools. Those interested can stay in the nearby hotel "Vstrecha" or the recreation center "Host".
If you want to rest "savage" near the Goudzhekit springs, you cannot do without a sturdy tent, thermal underwear and a warm sleeping bag, because even on summer nights it is quite cool there. It is also important to take care of the necessary medicines, insect bite remedies and long-lasting products.
It is worth noting that tourists will be able to combine health improvement with picking berries and mushrooms in the summer, as well as snowboarding and skiing in winter (the slopes of the Baikal ridge are at their service). Fishing is no less interesting (you can only fish with a line) - in the Goudzhekit River you can catch carp, crucian carp, chub, dace, asp, silver bream …
Kuldur thermal spring
The waters (at the outlet + 72˚C) of Kuldur (a village in the Jewish Autonomous Region) contain a high content of fluorine and silicic acid (112 mg / l), and radon water flows from one of the wells. Local waters are used to treat eczema, arthritis, radiculitis, osteochondrosis, psoriasis, and infertility. Since sanatoriums have been built in the resort area, it makes sense for tourists to take a closer look at Gornyak (there is a bathroom department in the hydropathic clinic, and two baths are hydromassage; patients will be able to test the effect of whirlpool baths for hands and feet, gynecological installations, irrigation of the head and gums), “Kulduru” (the health complex has several hydropathic establishments and an equipped polyclinic) and “Sanusu” (in addition to undergoing medical procedures, guests can play billiards, visit an art gallery and a library).
