Feeling, trying, touching, discovering new rejuvenating experiences, to find harmony within that precedes well-being. Being healed by the water and thermal mud, finding new vitality in the soothing heat of the hot springs.
Health: a precious commodity that has neither age nor season.
The bounty of our hot springs depends on the richness of Abano’s waters: bromidic iodic salts, are found underground and are of geothermal origin.
From the Pre-Alps, at around 1,000-1,500 meters, rainwater penetrates the ground at a depth of around 2,500-3,000 meters, being enriched along its course with mineral salts and becoming progressively hotter.
The water takes more than 25 years to travel the distance of 70-100 km that separates the Foothills of the Alps from the Euganeo area, but returns to the surface rapidly, maintaining its more or less unaltered high temperature (75-87°C / 167-189°F) and its healing content.
The water’s chemical composition and temperature play an important role in its therapeutic action in the mud and in the development of special vegetal (algae) and animal (micro organisms) micro-flora that is formed during the maturation process of the mud, which, unique for its characteristics, becomes the most important healing element of the Euganean Thermal Basin.
The water and the mud have an important therapeutic effect for the body: pain-relieving and analgesic, resolvent anti-inflammatory, relaxing and revitalizing, detoxifying and remineralising. A vacation to the sources of well-being has one important goal: feeling good! |
