A small \u201clake\u201d created by spring\u00b4s stem is 70 cm deep and therefore perfect for small children.<\/strong> The bottom of this lake is flat, with small pebbles. Thermal spring consists of ferric water<\/strong> and therefore, it is suggested to bring your old swimwear in case it would damage.<\/p>\n

How to get there:<\/span><\/strong> In \u017darnovica city turn off to Lukavica. Continue along the road till you arrive at the crossroads next to Lukavica church.

2. Ka\u010fa<\/h2>\n

Bubbled mineral water rising in Liptovsk\u00fd J\u00e1n<\/strong>, named Ka\u010fa, is one of 24 thermal springs in this region. They are described even in almost 500 old documents by mineralogist Juraj Werner. It consists of one natural crater surrounded by a lake<\/strong>. Based on the old legend, the shepherd with his sheep went around Ka\u010fa. The sick sheep fell down to the spring crater and magically healed up. Since then, the shepherd dunks all the sick sheep into this water.<\/p>\n

Ka\u010fa is visited by both- domestic and international tourists- mostly from Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic. The healing effects of Ka\u010fa popularized Liptovsky Jan and thanks to it, it became a thermal city sought by many tourists. The water has between 16-25\u00b0C<\/strong> and it has proven health benefits in rheumatic diseases<\/strong>, diseases of the locomotory system, female organs,<\/strong> skin diseases, digestive tract<\/strong>, liver, and gallbladder. The ideal length of the bath should be 20 min\/day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For its high content of Sulphur<\/strong>, it can cause a little tingling on your skin. However, this tingling is harmless and quite pleasurable. The bottom of the lake is covered by gravel. There are toilettes, changing rooms, and a small buffet nearby. In the short distance, you can find Teplice thermal spring, where you can fill up your bottle with drinkable mineral water.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How to get there:<\/strong><\/span> Liptovsk\u00fd J\u00e1n is a city in the Liptovsky Mikulas region directly connected to the motorway, so you will find it very easily. Ka\u010fa can be found thanks to GPS coordinates below.<\/p>\n

A small lake (20 x 10 m) was built around the borehole by enthusiastic activists.

They claim, that if you are tired after a long day, only 30 min. in this bath can wake you up and boost you with energy!
