The Origin of Narzan
Before reaching the surface, the well-known narzan waters pass through a rather complicated and long path. Its beginning lies at the foot of Elbrus, where glaciers in the process of melting by streams flow down from the mountains and soak into the soil. In the earth, water passes through a mass of natural filters, saturated with carbon dioxide, minerals, trace elements and salts.
