Although The Danube Region is not one of the large regions, it offers a number of thermal springs to its residents and tourists. Here we can find a trio of recreational swimming pools with interesting and healing thermal springs. Swimming pools in Komárno, Štúrovo and Wellness and Summer Thermal Spa Patince all help people improve their health.
Already in the 13th century the locals “soaked” themselves in the local thermal waters in Patince. Documents even mention their popularity among Roman soldiers in the 1st and 2nd Century! The famous Slovak polymath Matej Bel described these springs and soon the first spa was built here by aristocrats.
Today, Wellness Hotel Patince benefits from this natural gift, which is one of the most demanded destinations in the area. Thermal water in Patince has beneficial effects on our locomotor system. Wells are drilled to a depth of about 170-180 meters, reaching temperatures nearly 27°C. One of the wells supplies the pools, another one supplies the small lake and a third supplies the big lake suitable for boating.
During the summer in Wellness Hotel Patince there are ten pools and four water slides of different levels. In addition to traditional external spa with swimming pools, beaches and water slides, in a four-star resort visitors can enjoy an indoor, all-year waters of the local water world, with many massage elements, relaxing and swimming zones. The complex provides accommodation with various standards and a range of activities including a wide offer of massages or spa and beauty care.
