The beneficial effect of thermal water has been known since the beginning of the 19th century. At the time when Vrdnik was a mining place, the miners were the first to experience. Not knowing anything about its healing effects at the time, the miners could only notice that the symptoms they suffered from – rheumatism and wounds on their legs- were milder. Water analysis results only confirmed the miners’ statements and scientific work frames were set to see how this water could be use in medical purposes.
Thermal water from the same underground source – the underground lake – is still in the pools of the “Premier Aqua“ hotel and is used for medical purposes in special practice for physical medicine and rehabilitation “Aqua Medica“ within the hotel. At its water source its 35,3°C, while, thanks to our up-to-date water management system for thermal waters, its temperature at the end – the pools, is 31°C , which is considered to be optimal for muscle relaxation and water activities. The water maintains its soothing characteristics and has a positive impact of its active substances – sulphur, sodium, calcium, magnesium and hydro-carbonates.
