Lumshory

Initially, there was only one place in Lumshory with wellness vats. It was located near a water source with a high content of hydrogen sulfide and minerals. This water is not suitable for drinking, but when heated it is very useful due to the activation of trace elements dissolved in it. The first mention of a hospital in Lumshory dates back to 1600. The healing water was heated with the help of hot stone blocks, which were lowered into oak fonts. Later, during the Czech rule, a two-story building for guests was built here. When a factory was built in the neighboring Turykh Remety, two 250-liter cast-iron vats were cast there , in which mineral water was heated and poured into troughs. After the First World War, both vats were lost. It was only in 1970 that Volodymyr Apiary dug up one of them in a stream in the forest. The second vat is now in the Vienna Museum. To this day, the village still has an ancient vat in which healing water is heated.

Three years ago, three new vats were brought to Lumshory. Two of them were placed on the territory of a local restaurant-hut owned by entrepreneur Mykhailo Vorozhylnyk. One is at the Lumshory recreation center. Each vat can accommodate five to six people. The procedure is as follows: you are put into a huge 1,000-liter copper vat of mineral hydrogen sulfide water and cooked over low heat with firewood. Bathing in the vat brings healingto the musculoskeletal system.
