Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a small, open-air park setting with several concrete pools fed by natural hot mineral water. The main pools are for bathing and foot soaking, with separate basins where water is cooled to a comfortable temperature. The area is shaded by trees with shelters, benches, changing areas and simple facilities. The atmosphere is quiet and local, primarily used for relaxation and health-related soaking rather than large-scale resort development.
