Essentuki - a resort in southern Russia - annually receives thousands of tourists who come not only to relax, but also to improve their health. This quiet and cozy corner in the Caucasus has a very interesting history. When at the beginning of the nineteenth century a detachment of the Volga Cossacks came across very unpleasantly fragrant and somewhat brackish-tasting sources located in a swampy area near the Kislush stream, they did not drink. But it turned out that the soared horses liked the water so much that it was impossible to pull them away from it. So, quite by accident, mineral springs were discovered, and later healing mud.

Even in the Soviet years, Essentuki became an eco-resort region of the Caucasian Mineral Waters. And since 2006, he was officially assigned the status of a resort with federal significance.
