Essentuki - the beginning of the history of the resort
Just 17 km from Pyatigorsk, the city of Essentuki is cozy and charming in its provincial beauty. It’s rare to see today such a picturesque and green village, where the air makes you breathe deeply.
Once this area was of strategic importance as a redoubt built in 1798 to protect the southern territories of Tsarist Russia. Already in the 19th century, 300 Cossack families responsible for border security were resettled here, and the village acquired the name Essentuki.
Although the first mineral springs were discovered in 1811, only in 1824 did their healing properties become known. From this moment begins the construction of pavilions, many of which have survived to the present day, but the real recognition of the resort occurred with the holding of a railway line to it. It was fashionable to relax “on the waters” not only among the nobility, but also among people with average incomes, especially since by the beginning of the 20th century there were already well-appointed hotels, sanatoriums and even a holiday village in which each house was an architectural masterpiece.
Nowadays, one of the most popular places in the city of Essentuki is the Rus resort. Reviews of vacationers claim that this is a whole health complex, which has no equal in Russia.
