Sarvar Spa and Wellness Centre

Sárvár Gyógy- és Wellnessfürdő is a thermal spa and wellness complex in the town of Sárvár, Vas County, in western Hungary. Its thermal water was discovered in 1961 during oil prospecting, when drillers struck two sources at different depths, one reaching 83°C and a second, cooler source of 43°C from roughly 1,200 metres. A municipal bath first opened in 1968 to use the water, and the current international-standard complex opened in 2002, with a major expansion in 2010. The water is sodium chloride and bicarbonate in character with iodine, bromine, and fluorine content, a composition some sources compare to that of the Dead Sea, and is used to treat rheumatic and joint conditions as well as in sports and neurological rehabilitation.
