The O-Saros spa was rebuilt exactly after the old architecture of the XIX century - when it had mud. The construction has a special beauty: it's made of wood and has glass ceiling.  It feeds directly from the nearest source, the cold water of the cold basin has 17 ° C, the hot basin 28-34 ⁰C. A 10-day cure is recommended. The combination of skiing + warm bath in mineral water + sauna + cold water + massage is, we think, an interesting proposal for those looking for fitness, sports and leisure. In the yard there is a freshwater swimming pool.
