History
The Hungarian resort of Hajduszoboszlo was founded before the XVII century, but it, like the other cities of the country at that time, was destroyed by the Turks. The city was restored by Prince Transylvanian by the name of Bachkai. He gave all the territories of the modern resort to the haiduk, who mercilessly fought against the establishment of the Turkish yoke and saved the country from the establishment of Habsburg rule in Hungary. The name of the city, by the way, also retained a particle of haiduk - “haidu”.
As soon as the residents returned to the walls of the newly rebuilt city, the measured life of the Hajduszoboszlo resort in Hungary began to boil with renewed vigor. However, in 1925 the most important event for the entire period of the city’s existence happened. During the study of the outskirts on the presence of natural gas reserves underground, geologists did not stumble on gas deposits. After making a shallow digging, streams of water with a strange odor poured onto the surface.
As it turned out, this water was endowed with unique properties and composition. Among the resorts of Hungary with thermal springs, Hajduszoboszlo took a special place, especially after a lot of advertising around the world. Since then, this year has been considered the birth date of the resort area. Although all the beneficial properties of water were not immediately apparent.

Then the scientists conducted a series of studies, the results of which confirmed the healing properties of the sources.
