Winter

Cold snow and warm springs
The city seemingly falls asleep when the first snowflakes twinkle in the air. The rush and noise that vanished from the streets moves to exhibition premises and concert halls. Long nights are cut out for balls and short winter days invite people for merriments and festivities right in the city or in its immediate vicinity. Walks through the spa center are much more pleasant when a cup filled with warm spring water heats chilled hands.

Tourism

Winter is the calmest season. Most tourists are gone to celebrate Christmas and New Year with their families. But there are also those who come to enjoy the unique solemn end-of-the-year atmosphere here, in our spa. And finally, another group of tourists arrive in winter because of the favorable prices of accommodation and spa programs.
