Curative Sources of Krasnodar Region
Curative Sources of Krasnodar Region
Thermal springs and mineral waters of Kubanhave long been famous for their medicinal properties, but only recently they have regained their former glory and popularity. Unique natural attractions and resorts, comparable to European ones, are located very close to us - the Russian Federation, the Krasnodar Territory.
Krasnodar Territory and especially Mostovskayathe region has long been known for its healing thermal springs and mineral waters. We all remember that the Mineralnye Vody resort had the status of an all-Union health resort during the times of Soviet power. Now it is quite an expensive world-famous place, along with the resorts of the Black Sea coast. Currently, other sources and springs are also gaining popularity, a large number of which are located in the Mostovsky district of the Krasnodar Territory. People who want to feel the beneficial effect of these healing underground waters get here all the same, but far from the noisy city and inflated prices, almost in the bosom of wildlife, but without breaking away from civilization, as most sources are near the village Mostovsky . Hot pools with thermal water are open all year round, and even in winter frosts - an unprecedented pleasure to take a hot bath under the open sky during a snowfall, admiring the mountain peaks and inhaling the crystal clear air of a coniferous forest. On the basis of sources are opened boarding houses and holiday homes for every taste and purse. In the private sector you can find guest houses and offers for renting a house for the duration of your holiday. The range of usefulness and curative effects of mineral waters and thermal springs is varied. Its healing properties are due to the mineral composition that it collects, filtering under the earth through layers of earthy rocks saturated with useful minerals and gases. Such substances as potassium, sodium, iodine, bromine and others, have not only a relaxing effect on the body as a whole, but also have a beneficial effect on the functions of internal organs and systems, so taking such water both in the form of drinking and bathing is useful as in prophylactic purposes, and in medical. This is proved by historical facts that people used this gift of nature for centuries, pilgrimages were arranged for places of thermal waters and springs, and for their curative properties many springs were sacred and became recognized shrines of the church. One of the vivid examples, until recently, little known, are the sources of mineral waters "Kislye". Information on their existence is mentioned in manuscripts dated to the times before our era, discovered during excavations of ancient mountain settlements. For centuries, the path of caravans invariably ran through these springs from ancient Persia to the Black Sea, and even then their healing properties were mentioned. More than ten springs are located on a giant salt ledge, which was formed as a result of the deposition of salts and minerals from these waters over the millennia. In the 1960s, Soviet scientists conducted an examination of these sources and as a result found that each fontanel has its unique chemical composition, which have been identified useful properties of each spring. Another uniqueness of these sources is that water is already pouring from under the ground, already saturated with carbon dioxide, which is a rarity for most thermal waters. Many people are surprised by this and compare the water with such famous drinks as "Narzan" or "Essentuki". They are located on the border of the Krasnodar Territory and the Karachay-Cherkess Republic at an altitude of more than 1800 meters above sea level, a recreation base is also open in the valley, but access to sources is limited due to the difficult mountainous terrain and the border zone. But many consider this a plus, since such an arrangement allows you to preserve the pristine purity and beauty of this natural wonder.
