Balneology
Medical and health resort tourism was probably most associated with Zakarpattia 50, 30, 20 years ago. But it is certainly still the case today. Sanatoriums are developing in such a way as to provide services not only to Ukrainian but also to foreign tourists.
A natural feature of the region is the largest number of mineral water types in Ukraine. Each has microelements that affect certain functions of different organs.
For example, all types of Luzhanskaya are low-mineral, it has a gentle effect on the human body and is easily excreted, giving a good therapeutic result.
In Svalyava district there are "Polyana Kupil"water, which is classified as water of medium mineralisation. It contains carbon dioxide, potassium, sodium, and calcium. "Polyana Kupil" can also be called mineral carbonate hydrocarbonate due to its composition, and is often prescribed for the treatment of the gastrointestinal tract, especially the stomach.
In Svalyava district there are also "Kvasova Polyana" - it is classified as water with a high amount of salts. Sometimes doctors recommend diluting this water when treating gastrointestinal diseases due to the high salt content.
If we talk about "The flower of the meadow" In Svaliava district, we have three mineral waters that are supplied directly from the well. This allows us to have a wide range of indications for treatment. Previously, the sanatorium was positioned only as a gastroenterological one, but here it has been scientifically proven that these waters are very effective in treating kidney and urinary tract diseases. For example, Luzhanska 4.
- We have very good hydrogen sulphide baths, which are effective for diseases of the musculoskeletal system. We also have other equipment for working with such problems that is not available anywhere else in the region. Our Luzhanska 7 is very effective for diabetes and other metabolic disorders," says Varosh in an interview. Pavel GaninetsDirector of the Kvitka Polonyny sanatorium at Suzirya LLC.
In general, all the waters of Svaliava district are best suited for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract with increased secretory function of the stomach (high acidity).
But in Khust district there are Shayanskaya mineral water, which is a water of medium mineralisation, is effective in treating liver and biliary tract pathologies because it contains magnesium.
IN Gornaya Tysa sanatorium"Arsenic-radon mineral water is used in the Rakhiv region. It is effective in treating patients with musculoskeletal disorders. In addition, it is also carbon dioxide-free, and radon and arsenic are in such quantities that the water can be used for internal and external consumption.
IN Sinyak sanatorium The mineral water from Mukachevo district contains a large amount of hydrogen sulphide, which is used to treat diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
We have extraordinary ferruginous mineral waters, which are rich in Mizhhiria region.
There are wells in the village of Kelechyn in Khust district that constantly produce water with a large amount of iron, the stream is all red. Soimovskaya mineral water also has iron in its composition, and the Verkhovyna sanatorium was built on its springs. In 1996-97, a department was opened there to treat patients with diseases of the haematopoietic system.
In Uzhhorod district, on the territory of the sanatorium complex "Derenivska KupilThe company produces Zakarpatska 1 mineral water, Zakarpatska 2 thermal water and Derenivska Kupil drinking water from artesian wells. Here, at our own plant, we bottle mineral and drinking water using the "no jet break" technology, which preserves all the natural properties of the water. Zakarpatska 1 mineral water has a high silicon content, which helps to slow down the body's ageing.
Thermal water
Thermal waters are truly relaxing and healing. However, it is important not to overdo it: you can stay in thermal water for 15 minutes (up to three times a day). A warm mineral bath has its best effect after the 12th minute of soaking. From the 12th minute to the 15th minute, it remains at this level of effectiveness, and after the 15th minute, it decreases. In addition, lying in thermal water for a long time is a significant strain on the body.
When it comes to Zakarpattia and thermal waters, the first association is with Berehove district. In fact, there are thermal springs in different parts of the region. If we're talking about Berehove district, it's primarily about the popular Kosyno.
A hot geyser of thermal water flows from a well 1190 metres underground and enters the thermal pool with a temperature of +40-45°C. Each pool is themed, such as Emerald, Kosyno's Golden Health Tap, Yin-Yang, Kneipp's 17 Steps of Health and others.
The complex is located in the city of Beregovo "Lark"It is not as attractive as Kosyno, but it is much more affordable. The website states that the water used to replenish the pools comes from wells 1200 metres deep. Therefore, it is not subjected to technical or chemical treatment. The hot water comes from magmatic intrusions in active volcanic areas, which are abundant in the Berehove region.
The water temperature in the thermal pools ranges from +25°C to +40°C.
Khust district is also "thermal", for example, the tourist complex "Warm Waters of Veliatyno". It offers relaxation in thermal pools and mineral baths. The water is extracted from a well about 1,000 metres deep and has a temperature of over 36°C. Tepli Vody has six thermal baths with different mineral compositions, three thermal, two mineral and five freshwater pools.
As for Uzhhorod district, we will focus on "Derenivska Kupil" (Nyzhnye Solotvyno) and "Golden Mountain" (Zolota Hora tract), they are located near Uzhhorod.
Derenivka has Zakarpatska 2 thermal water enriched with silicon. It is extracted from an artesian well from a depth of 640 metres. It is cooled from +43°C to +34°C. There is a semi-outdoor thermal pool with a picturesque panorama of Derenivska Kupil. In general, Derenivska Kupil's mineral and thermal water is the basis of the entire health improvement process in the sanatorium complex (we are talking about the Iris health centre and the Silver Therms SPA in Derenivska Kupil).
In addition to the semi-outdoor thermal pool, there is also an indoor and outdoor freshwater pool.
"Zolota Hora has one large outdoor and one indoor thermal water pool with a temperature of +29°C and +26°C, respectively (and is extracted at a temperature of 29-39°C).

Being healthy is natural - this is the slogan of Izki.
