AquaPark Cozia

AquaPark Cozia sits within the Complexul Balnear Cozia at Călimănești-Căciulata, a spa town at the foot of the Cozia mountains on the Olt river whose mineral springs — sulphurous, chlorinated-sodium, bicarbonated, calcic, magnesian and iodurated, some also carbonated — were famous enough in the 19th century that Dr. Carol Davila had bottled water from 'izvorul nr. 1' at Căciulata shipped to Paris for Napoleon III, and Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph also took treatment there. Inaugurated in 2015 as a modern addition to this historic balneo resort — Romania's largest, with around a dozen active mineral springs, four hotels and two treatment bases — the park's 13 pools and 9 slides draw on the resort's thermal water rather than being a stand-alone chlorinated facility.
