Найближче проживання

You know that Lumshory is a balneologicalresort, and the first medical facility has been operating here since 1600. In the XVIII century, there was already a "Lumshory Resort". It has the status of a mountain village in Perechyn district of Zakarpattia region on the Turychka river. It is a part of the Turychky village council (Turychky village council, tel. 03145 2-39-14). Less than 100 inhabitants live here. 3.5 kilometers to the north of Lumshory are the eponymous tract and the cascade of Lumshory waterfalls. In one of the waterfalls (formerly called Partizan), water falls from a cliff in a powerful stream over 4 meters high, forming a small lake at the foot. The water comes here from the Runa (Rivne) meadow, which is the largest meadow in the Ukrainian Carpathians, a complex of alpine alpine meadows, the height of which reaches 1479 m above sea level and an area of 1100 hectares, and in the Lumshory gorge it spreads into two streams that fall on smooth gray stones from a height of 12 m. Since 2003, the village has had a 300-meter-long rope towing cable car.

Lumshory vats first started operating 400 years ago

The village of Lumshory, hidden among the Carpathian forests, has deservedly gained the status of a pearl and a business card of the charming Transcarpathia. This phenomenal popularity is explained simply - there are vats here. Huge cast-iron containers for hot bathing in the open air, which can accommodate up to 10 people at a time, depending on their size. And there are plenty of sizes here, as well as vats, or rather, indoor baths on the banks of the mountain river Turychka. Artificial rifts have been arranged along its channel to raise the water level in the places where vacationers go down to the river to cool their bodies steamed in the vat.

There is a well No. 91 at the Polonyna recreation center. The mineral water is supplied from a depth of 157 m and belongs to the low-sulfide, low-carbon dioxide, low-mineralized hydrocarbonate cold waters of the Sernozol type. It is worth mentioning the presence of radon in the springs of Lumshory mineral waters, the content of which is slightly higher than the hydrogeochemical background for Transcarpathia.

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.

As the resort village developed and the popularity of this wellness procedure grew among tourists coming to rest in the Carpathians, vats began to appear like mushrooms along the river. Today, there are more than ten baths, but only one of them, which existed here originally, offers bathing in hydrogen sulfide water with a high radon content, which is the most beneficial. All the other vats are used for steaming herbs and offering bathing on spruce branches, which is also useful, but not directly related to why vacationers come here.

Given the remoteness from civilization, it is quite difficult to get to the village. The nearest railway line runs through Perechyn, which can be reached by train from Uzhhorod. Then you can take a shuttle bus, which has interruptions in its schedule in winter. Most people come to Lumshory by their own transport or by sightseeing buses. Excursions to the vats are regularly organized from Polyana. The distance from the regional center to Lumshory is 50 km, from Polyana - 45 km.
