Resort History
This is one of the oldest towns in Ukraine. It is located, as it were, on an island formed by the arms of the Southern Bug River. High shores, green distances, ecologically clean territory, rich historical heritage - these are the prerequisites for creating a recreation zone. But Khmilnik was doubly lucky. In 1934, a geological expedition accidentally stumbled upon a source. The local population did not use this key, because the water was not very pleasant to taste. But chemical analysis showed that it contains radon and a whole bunch of healthy substances and trace elements. When the first sanatorium was built near the spring, Khmelnik began to rapidly develop as a balneological resort. Soon, healing mud was found nearby. The list of diseases that can be cured by undergoing treatment in Khmelnik has expanded.
