Spa Smrdáky

Spa

The spa Smrdáky lying next Senica in the west of Slovakia became famous for its sulphuric medicinal springs known here since the 16th century.

Baron Joseph Vietoris founded the spa in the years 1832-1833. He built the first spa building and manor house for well-to-do visitors. The repeatedly reconstructed and modernised manor house is still used.

Due to the composition of the local medicinal water and excellent therapeutic results, the spa concentrated on therapy of skin diseases in the 20th century.

Composition of medicinal water of Smrdáky is indeed unique. One litre of the local water contains more than 3,100 mg of mineral components. The hydrogen sulphide content is especially high (more than 600 mg/l), which makes the Smrdáky water themost sulphurous water in Europe. Sulphurous mud is also highly curative.

The spa consists of several empirical buildings. Although they were repeatedly reconstructed they keep the original appearance.

The observation tower Žalostiná

The lovely reddish wooden observation tower with a carved roof decorates the hill Žalostiná. Its simple beauty fits into the picturesque scenery of mounds covered by woods, meadows and pastures. In the valley lie scattered houses. On the hill Žalostiná your soul will get filled with a sense of peace and harmony with the surrounding region. The howling wind reminds us of a mother’s lament for a lost daughter. It’s smoothening in its own way. The lament attracts predators lying in wait for their victims. Shall we be concerned over the fate of an endangered creature? The fate of the tiny observation tower on Žalostiná is in the hands of those who come to visit it. The tower does not have to worry about its future. It’s beautiful and people like beautiful things.

At the sunset, when the sky changes color into yellow and purple, the place becomes a quite place suitable for relaxation and meditation. Let yourself immerse into surrounding cornfields, rounded hills and small houses. Only noise from passing cars will disturb this harmonic moment of peace.
