The Ural region is fraught with many wealth that it generously gives to people. Thermal hot springs in the Sverdlovsk region are not fantasy, but reality. They have a number of useful properties and are in no way inferior to the famous mineral springs of the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus.
Origin
Sverdlovsk region is located in the very center of the Ural Mountains, rich in various natural resources. But the origin of the wells with hot mineral water is quite prosaic. This is the result of geological surveys conducted in 1957. Geologists drilled oil wells and received hot mineral water. The composition of the water is well studied, the corresponding conclusions are obtained.
Where are the sources
Hot springs in the Sverdlovsk region are located near the city of Turinsk and near the city of Tavda. You can get to them through the Tyumen or Rezhevsky tract. It is 270 kilometers from the Yekaterinburg source of Turin, 375 kilometers from the source in Tavda. The Tavda spring is closer to the city of Tyumen.
Water composition
According to its chemical composition, water from sources of medium mineralization is classified as thermal methane chloride-sodium water containing bromine and iodine. The total mineralization of water is 14.5 g / l. It also contains sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iodine, bromine, bicarbonate.
In addition, water quality is monitored by a special service belonging to the Ministry of Health of the Sverdlovsk Region. Water should have a yellow (rusty) hue with a natural precipitate and the smell of iodine. Hot springs in the Sverdlovsk region really have healing properties. This is confirmed by many reviews.
Turin source
On the Tura River, through which the longest, as claimed, the bridge in the region is built, the city of Turinsk is located. Twenty kilometers from it is a modern thermal complex with the beautiful name "Watercolor". The source itself is located on its territory. According to numerous reviews, the Turinsk hot spring is the most effective in its natural composition, has an optimal temperature when used, and good conditions for vacationers are created here.
Until the 90s, the Chekunovo-Hydropathic Center was located here, which after reconstruction in 2013 became known as “Watercolor”. Thermal water was studied quite well in Soviet times, its effect on the human body was determined. It has been known to residents of the Sverdlovsk region for a long time and enjoys well-deserved popularity.
Hot spring water in the Sverdlovsk region is indicated for people with diseases of the musculoskeletal system, nervous system (peripheral), for a number of some female diseases, CVD, and respiratory organs. The water in the pools is running. On the territory of the complex there is a hotel and a cafe where you can have a tasty and relatively cheap lunch.
On the territory of the complex there are several pools located in cascade, which receives water from the well from a depth of 1200 meters. The water pressure in the hot spring of Turinsk (you can see the photo in the article) is very large, it is used to massage the body and feet. Also, indoor pools were built in the thermal complex, the water temperature is higher than in open ones. In addition, there is a salt and biosaunas (using essential oils), a traditional Finnish sauna, a Turkish hammam and much more.
Attractions, how to get there
The city of Turinsk is well known to most of the inhabitants of our country as a place of exile of the Decembrists. Turin prison was located here. The house of the Decembrist V.P. Ivasheva, it now houses the Museum of the Decembrists. In the house of Decembrist N.V. Basargin is the House of traditional crafts and crafts, installed Bust II. Pushchino, who lived here.
If you drive along the highway to Turinsk, then you need to drive 20 kilometers in the direction of the Factory, where the thermal spring is located. You can get bypassing the city of Turinsk, for this, after the ring, drive the bridge over Tura, turn left and follow the sign toward Chekunovo.
Tavdinsky source
If you continue driving along the highway bypassing Turinsk, then the city of Tavda will be 375 kilometers from Yekaterinburg. Here, one and a half kilometers are the thermal hot springs (Tavda). There is a recreation center "Rodnik" surrounded by pine-deciduous forest. Rodnik has been working for quite some time. Its infrastructure is quite developed. It is located far from the city of Yekaterinburg, much closer to the city of Tyumen. The distance is only 129 km.
The water in this hot spring of the Sverdlovsk region is similar to Turin. According to its chemical composition, it also belongs to the methane thermal sodium chloride waters with the content of bromine and iodine. Indications for use are the same as that of Turin water. The tourist complex "Rodnik" has a hotel, comfortable houses for living, an outdoor pool filled with running thermal water, baths, saunas, massage and beauty rooms.
For outdoor enthusiasts, there are special open verandas with barbecue facilities. There is a cafe with a banquet hall for 30 people. For lovers of active winter recreation, there is a rental point where you can take equipment: skis, skates, sledges and much more.
