Sovata's Natural Resources

This lake’s unusually high levels of salt make swimming - even just floating - a pleasurable way to relieve body tension. A mix of warm sun and mineral-rich water keeps surface temperatures between 20-25 degrees Celsius, heating up to 35-40 degrees at deeper layers.

High salt content gives the water anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties for treating infections, mobility issues and respiratory conditions with inhalation therapies.

Mud is harvested from Bear Lake, (Lacu Ursu), so-named because it is the shape of a bear’s hide. It is famous for treating gynaecological conditions. When inserted as a tampon, it has great results for reversing infertility, menstruation and menopausal symptoms and for repairing tissue after gynaecological operations.
