Where in Ukraine are equipped with thermal springs.

Instead of selecting a slope for skiing, it makes sense to find somewhere in the current wet weather, you can bask in the warm waters.

BEREHOVE

This Transcarpathian town there are two points that relate to the theme of the story. First let's mention the former sports base "Zakarpattya" (street Shevchenko, 1), known since Soviet times. Here you can swim a couple of times a day for one hour with a break of at least five hours. Let's face it: local full bath. Procedures for water use capacity that had once housed a swimming pool (water temperature 32 °C) and a paddling pool (37 °C). Changing rooms without showers and changing cabins, lockers are locked with a key (which is on the rubber loop is attached on the arm). The hot water in the showers is fed unpredictable, no dryers. The baths (1 hour) — 70 UAH. However, no modern control tools like wristbands with chip here. Accommodation in mini-hotels in close proximity to the pool of thermal waters — from 350 UAH for a double room. On-site sports facilities there is a hotel, but to recommend it do not dare because of poor condition and poor service. However, the water and her healing qualities of the bad reviews were not heard. First of all it helps in atherosclerosis, rheumatism, varicose veins, hypertension.

In Beregovo there is a complex of four thermal pools, "Skylark" (St. Shevchenko, 112). One of them is indoor, the other outdoor. In the main pool water temperature to 33 °C, is relying a place of pleasure like a Jacuzzi, "geyser", "waterfalls" and a Jacuzzi with a water temperature of 42-45 °C. the baths (2 hours): adults — 120 UAH, children of 120-150 cm — 60 UAH, other — free. Accommodation in the hotel complex in the new year period will cost 420-560 UAH for a double room. For hotel guests access to the thermal pools — 200 UAH per day. In General, the complex makes a good impression: all buildings and swimming pools built recently, not to decay in time.

KOSINO 

The so-called village in 20 km from the coast and located in it Wellness and recreation complex. It was rebuilt in 2012 on the site of the old bath, and it looks very decent: is not inferior to the Hungarian and Slovak competitors. There's a hotel, seven saunas and seven swimming pools of different design and purpose (in pool for recreational bathing from a well depth of 1200 m comes turbid, with a yellow tinge and slightly salty water with a temperature of 41 °C). Buildings and interiors are designed in the style of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In addition, around the "Kosino" saved an old oak forest with huge trees, and visitors are always arranged all kinds of entertainment: from fire shows to food festivals. Overall, the place is pleasant in all respects. If no pictures: so, the new year period (up to 17.01) the double room in the hotel on site per day — 3,000 USD (this amount includes Breakfast, unlimited access to the pools and saunas, a children's animator). In addition, will have to fork out for Christmas dinner (2500 UAH per person). In the period after the stop here will cost 2250 UAH. It pictures European level — for example, to relax in the Hungarian complex of the same class can be for the same money. However, if you are traveling in Transcarpathia, in Kosino, you can just stop by to warm up, not stopping for the night. The baths (3 hours) will cost 250 UAH, sauna (unlimited time) — 150 UAH.

WESTIN

10 km from Khust, in the village of WESTIN (Sanatornaya str, 2), is a complex "Warm water" with thermal pools and baths. Here we use boron and boron-chloride water with high content of iodine (helps with problems with locomotor apparatus, cardiovascular and nervous systems). Speaking less formally, the "Warm water" is a small hotel 3* with a small bath next door. Plus a small "block catering" in the form of a dining room and a pizzeria. And all this is located in a rather quiet place, where there is no noisy animation and entertainment. So the "Warm water" leave the impression of a small and peaceful establishment.

The baths (2 hours): adults — 100 UAH, children under 140 cm — 50 UAH. Accommodation in the hotel complex — from 350 UAH for a double room (with Breakfast). Hotel guests get a discount of 50% on the swimming pool.

VATS OF BOILING WATER

Bathing in huge iron vats, in which water is heated on the fire, common in Transcarpathia. This is entertainment of the village Lumshory, which is not far from the Uzhgorod — it is known from XVI century. Today Lumshory is considered a Spa resort, thanks to local water springs, the water of which is very useful for the musculoskeletal system. It is then poured into vats (though not all). Two hours of sitting in them on average cost 250 UAH (for 3-5 people). Accommodation in Lumshory in private homes, cottages and resorts (average price of housing per day — 200 UAH).
MAN-MADE GEYSERS KHERSON STEPPES

At the end of XX century in Kherson region the geologists were looking for gas, which has drilled many deep wells. Sometimes the drill consisted in layers of hot mineralized water through the hole was pulled out to the surface. While similar findings of no interest — well or preserved, or simply left. And then boiling water without any benefit was spread around. Local residents and vacationers, noticing the healing effect of water, initially began to heal Amateur. Today, bathing in thermal waters has become more or less civilized forms. However, the spas on the Arabat spit only work until mid-autumn. So in our story is only one object on the territory of Kherson region.

BASELEY. 60 km from the district center of Golaya Pristan, almost on the banks of Tendrovskaya Bay, there's a hole. The people she long ago dubbed the "Geyser" (which, incidentally, is wrong). A few years ago it equipped baths: two swimming pools with hot water and one with mud. Brackish water a brownish tint (either due to the fact that the ancient pipe rusts out, the water actually contains elements like bromine and iodine) at the output of the wells has a temperature of 65-70 °C. unfortunately, the detailed composition and properties of water no one studied. However, if you do not talk about systemic treatment, and only about unusual entertainment in the winter, the "Geyser" is fine to visit.

FLY IN THE OINTMENT. Unfortunately, the level of comfort and service "Geyser" is in no way a competitor for their Transcarpathian brethren. Not to mention the Hungarian baths. To begin with, after turning off the road on the Iron Port in S. Behari here is a primer. Rooms around the pools — not heated and soul. In short, you can come to the company on the machines, swim, drink champagne in the pool and go back to civilization. For visiting will have to pay about 40 USD. Since we are talking about the trip in the cold season, to keep warm, take long thick robes with hoods. Expensive swimsuits don't take: after geyser of water the fabric can acquire a reddish hue.

Finally, to stop for the night directly near the "Geyser" nowhere. A possible alternative (except roadside hotels) — the estate of green tourism. However, all of them are at least a few kilometers from the baths. The cost of one day in such a "HOMESTEAD" — from 300 UAH.

In short, a trip to the "Geyser" may not be the main purpose of the journey, but as an additional item on the agenda.
