Thermal Park Vrbov is open all year and offers several pools filled with thermal sparkling water containing lot of healing minerals. Water comes from depth of 2,000 meters with temperature of 65° C cooled down to about 40° C. Officially it's claimed to be 36-38 degrees C but during my two visits there I am sure it was largely over fourty.
Water sources in Vrbov are known since ancient times for their healing influence to human bodies and organisms - relieving respiratory problems, nervous sysem, cardio and blood circulation ailments, mental stresses and many other diseases.
Main attraction is that pools are outdoor and taking bath people are sitting under open sky despite the weather.
I must admit that bath in rain is quite pleasant.
In the winter working half of the swimming pools. good hot mineral water in seating pool. small thermal park with good value
One of these places that remind you that you're in Eastern Europe.. Lots of white people who are nice and smile often. Spent there 3 hours with the kids, had a good time overall. The kids got a bit bored after a while and went to the cool dinosaur playground. Everything is highly maintained and looks new. Well worth the money.
Close to Kežmarok, High Tatra mountains lines behind you. There are only the fields and trees all around you. It is so cold outside, strong wind blows, you want to stay in the car. You can hardly believe, there is the thermal spa in front of you.. . Eventually you enter the small spa building, the attentive staff will explain to you the rules, you pay the fee and get the chip, the world of springs opens up for you. . Two and a half hours for Eur 7.50 is the optimal price I guess. The Indoor swimming pool leads to the canal to the outdoor pool which contains 36´C thermal water. Pure pleasure. You are almost dissolving in the sulfury and steaming water.. It's raining cats and dogs, but you simply shiver with pleasure. You can even walk out of the water after a while and proceed to the third, the warmest pool. Hours go by and you are getting nicely tired, happy and relaxed . One of reviewers have mentioned the fact, there it is not about luxury and culinary art there. I am happy it is so. It is about the steamy heaven without the screaming crowd, clean and well maintained, surrounded by fields in the middle of nowhere.
Thermal Park Vrbov is just beside the main road from Levoca, parking is possible near Hotel/Restaurant "Flipper" The main building is nice and modern. I had a 2,5 hrs ticket for EUR 6.38 with the 15% discount I received from Hotel Menhard. Tried out 3 pools, the best one was the warmest :) It is good for a winter chill, I have enjoyed it.
Thermal park is the nice place with the poor service, but the thermal water is comfortable and everyone can find self which relax ( swimming) pool is perfect for self. I saw today one big threat !!! Its meal. In a thermal park serve just coffee and baguette. In area is just one ,, restaurant,, koliba,,. I tried some kitchen specialites with soup. Everything was harmfull. Waitress was little puzzled, while i asked about food. She sad, that all is homemade prepared. I think she lied me. I ordered the homemade slovak classic food and the result is on the photo. ( pork sausage, sausage, boiled potatos???, sauerkraft, pork neck). Anyway the sausage was very nice, but the rest? And prize ? I can just smiling, nice location, too high prize for low quality, very low.
