Ever fantasized about finding the Elixir of Life? Well, Georgia's got a close contender. Perched at 120 meters (394 feet) above sea level, near the tranquil Tskaltubostskali River, lies a site where myths blend seamlessly with reality – welcome to Tskaltubo Mineral Water Park.
Here's the fun part: Tskaltubo’s waters are no newcomers. They've been serving as a source of rejuvenation since the 7th century. Fast forward a few centuries, and these waters even made their way into the records of the Berlin Natural History Society. Talk about international acclaim!
Dive deeper into the science of it all, and you'll discover these waters originated between 100,000 and 150,000 years ago. Laden with enriching elements like iodine, bromine, zinc, and copper, they're practically a multivitamin for your body. And for those wrestling with ailments like skin conditions, heart issues, or metabolic disorders? Tskaltubo's got your back... and your heart, skin, and metabolism.
Taking a stroll around? You're in for a treat. Besides the therapeutic baths (perfect for both young adventurers from the age of 4 and the wise ones), Tskaltubo Central Park, stretching across 70 hectares (173 acres), offers a plethora of delights. Think tennis matches, idyllic lakes, fun amusements, and a spot to groove at the concert hall.
