Budapest holds that largest medicinal bath in Europe. The water in the Szechenyi Medicinal Bath is supplied by two thermal springs with temperatures of 74 and 77 degrees. Built in 1913 in a neo-baroque style, this spa covers the grounds of the City Park, a large cultural arena that includes the Museum of Fine Arts and the Municipal and Zoological Botanical Gardens. One could think of this amazing place as the macrocosm in relation to which a microcosm might be your back yard hot tub. Covers of glass mosaics, and sculptures made by Hungary's leading artists embellish the spa. Here, the thermal water contains sodium, calcium-magnesium-hydrocarbonate and sulphates, with significant fluoride and metaboric acid content. It's a natural wonderland, just like the little one behind your house.
German spa, covers and criminals
Elvis Presley used a barn from the town of Bad Nauheim on the cover of a record he made; he lived in the town while he was in the Army. Franklin Delano Roosevelt stayed in the town too when he was a boy when his father visited there several times for treatment of his heart condition. Hitler had his "Eagle's Nest" there in World War II. Bad Nauheim is known for its salt springs spa. Covers of albums and visits by world leaders can be explained by nothing less than the fact that this world-famous resort has a long history of treating people with heart and nerve diseases, and places of healing have historically attracted people worldwide. Today, many folks traipse right out to their back yards and lift their hot tub covers and conveniently reap the benefits of places like Bad Nauheim. Also look into our hot tub chemicals!
