Bardejov Spa are located 5 km north of the town of Bardejov in the picturesque valley of the Low Beskydy Mountains in an area rich in mineral waters. The spa, or mineral springs, were first mentioned in the Belu IV. of the year 1247, which defines the area of Bardejov. There is relatively early information about the existence of the springs due to the fact that the mineral springs were located in the immediate vicinity of an important settlement, which Bardejov certainly was, and near the important „great royal road“ connecting the Mediterranean with the Baltic. Over the years, spa facilities were built, which were mainly visited by the nobility.
Bardejov Spa and precious guests
Earlier 19th century the spa became one of the most sought-after in Hungary, as evidenced by the records of visitors such as the Emperor Joseph II., Maria Lujza - later wife of the emperor Napoleon, Russian Tsar and Empress Elizabeth of Bavaria, wife Franz Joseph I., whose stay is commemorated by a statue in front of the treatment house from 1903. The number of visitors to the spa increased after the construction of the railway line to Bardejov with a permanent carriage connection to the spa. The location, the Magura Mountains protect the entire spa valley from violent weather changes and wind, and thus the spa has a very favourable climate. The clean air, the silence, the beautiful surrounding nature offer spa guests peace and healing. Six mineral springs spring up in the central park area of the spa. The water of the springs „Main“, „Medical“ and „Hercules“ is bicarbonate-chloride, sodium, iron, carbonic, hypotonic, cold. The water of the „Elizabeth“ spring is bicarbonate-chloride, soda-lime, ferric, carbonic, hypotonic, cold. Its balneological value can be ranked among the most important mineral waters of this kind. In the area there are, besides spa houses, hotels, two swimming pools and two expositions of the Šariš Museum in Bardejov - ethnographic and skanzen - museum of folk architecture, amphitheatre, tennis courts, mini-golf, fitness, bowling bar, oxygen track, 35km of groomed hiking trails, natural swimming pool with heated water, salt cave.
