Natural healing sources

Bojnice is a peaceful spa town located in the heart of Slovakia. Its geographic location, mild climate and thermal water provides ideal conditions for the curative tratment processes and regeneration.

Natural curative sources

Technical analysis characterizes this water as strongly mineralized, carbonic, sulfuric hydrogen-carbonate-chloride, sodium-calcium water with increased content of fluorine and magnesium, slightly acid, tepid and hypotonic. Its natural temperature is 28.5 °C and the total mineralization is 5,667 mg/l. The content of almost 1,600 mg of carbon dioxide and 6 mg of hydrogen-sulfide in one litre makes the water unique world wide. The water is suitable for the prevention and treatment of diseases of the locomotor system, cardio-vascular system, and nervous system, as well as manger and civilization diseases. Mineral water treatment is based on the chemical effects of carbon dioxide and hydrogen-sulfide on the skin, where they are absorbed into the body. The gases are more effective from interacting. Next healing factor is the thermal phenomenon – water is warmed for individual baths in a tub up to 34 - 36 °C, for bath in a pool it is warmed up to 34 °C. Hydrostatic pressure and buoyancy have a mechanical influence on the body in the water. It complexly influences the functions of all the organs in the human body.

From history

Dudince was first mentioned in written documents under the name “Dyud” in the 13th century. The archaeological findings proved that animals lived in this territory earlier than human beings; however, approximately 5000 BC the territory of Dudince was settled by its native inhabitants. At the beginning of the Bronze Age, people of so-called Moschon and Hungarian culture settled here. Romans came later. Although they stayed here for rather a short period, their presence was important, as Romans gave name to the travertine formations – natural pools near the spa town Dudince – called the “Roman Spa”. The Romans appear also in the old legend about the origin of the healing water spring of Dudince. Later archaeological reports document presence of Slavs in the territory.
