Vyšné Ružbachy Spa
A unique blend of history and nature
Vyšné Ružbachy Spa spreads out over the
beautiful nature at the merging point of
Tatra National Park and Pieniny National
Park. Few places in Slovakia can boast
such a symbiosis of nature, rich history,
architecture and natural treasures as
this unique spa in the north-east of the
country.
People from the locality were making use
of the local natural springs here in the
16th century already, alongside Polish
and Hungarian nobility. The basis of
therapy and its preventive effects rests in
the unique mildly mineralised hypotonic
water with a temperature up to 26°C. The
healing effect of this natural mineral carbon
water is achieved by bathing, when
carbon dioxide is absorbed through the
skin, boosting skin blood flow. The combination
of the calming natural environment
and the mineral water, which contains
the optimum amount of calcium
and magnesium with increased content
of lithium, has a highly beneficial action
on a tired and exhausted organism, mind
and cardiovascular system in today’s
rushed times. The latest new feature at
the spa is the Centre for complex cardiovascular
rehabilitation, the first and only
one of its kind in Slovakia.
The surroundings and amenities of the
spa grounds make for a lot of diversity.
Visitors can find Swiss houses here in
the style of Alpine log architecture, the
Biely Dom built out of white travertine
rock in Biedermeier style, which is a copy
of a palace in Monte Carlo, then there is
the largest travertine lake in Slovakia, or
the unique symposium of sculptures set
in nature.
