many years, Bulgaria has been for us a fraternal country, brought from attar of roses in wooden bottle. Having the opportunity to travel around the world, Russians have flocked to the closed first state. But, after traveling many of them, again returned to Bulgaria. According to the uniqueness and abundance of water, climatic, mud curative and other health resources of Bulgaria occupies one of the first places in Europe. There are found all the naturally occurring types of mineral waters. Therefore, hydrotherapy, or balneology in Bulgaria offers rare opportunities for recovery.
Say there is no place like home. In Bulgaria, almost as good as home. And relax and be treated there are even better. Nowhere else does not belong to the Russian way is welcome. We work for the Bulgarians - the tourists are not faceless, but real family, brothers-Slavs, dear guests, who met with a rare sincerity. Bulgaria is doing much near and dear in Russia: the similarity of language, table, cultures, history ... The Bulgarian language is similar to the old Russian, Bulgarian written in the Cyrillic alphabet, so the language barrier is practically nonexistent. Bulgarians - a strong nation, managed to preserve their language and Orthodox faith, despite the 500-year Turkish yoke, and other gains of the country - tidbits territory with healing waters and mild climate in the middle of the Balkan Peninsula.
Bulgarian tour operators like to remember the Soviet proverbial "chicken - not a bird, Bulgaria - not abroad." In Bulgaria, carefully preserve evidence of past friendship. From such well-known as a monument to Russian soldier Alyosha Liberator in Plovdiv, to small, like a luxurious memorial stone dedicated to the Soviet-Bulgarian friendship, the Hotel Palace, the former sanatorium, but today - this palace in the town of Velingrad. Mineral springs are Bulgaria and the climate is exceptional and the prices are much lower than in Moscow and Europe. This has long understood the Germans, Scandinavians, Greeks, neighbors and the British, who fill the hydropathic resorts in Bulgaria. Russians, mostly travel to Bulgaria skiing. But Bulgarians are hoping that the waters will once again be more Russian. Although our tour operators have only recently begun to work with Bulgarian balneokurortami.

Mineral water from the aqueduct

Balneology on Bulgarian soil has a long history. Hydrothermal centers were built there already in IV-V millennia BC. Fundamentals of balneotherapy laid the Thracians, who founded the city on the ground warm mineral springs. Hydrotherapy flourished during the Roman Empire. Since then, the glory of the Bulgarian resorts is only growing.
Today Bulgaria confidently goes to first place in Europe among the recognized centers of hydrotherapy. Balneotherapy resort has modern medical equipment and treatment is carried out under the supervision of qualified doctors, as a rule, speaking in Russian. Most resorts offer hydrotherapy, electrotherapy, all kinds of hand massage and hardware, including whirlpool baths, mud baths. Everywhere there are gyms, SPA-centers and beauty salons. In this program of recovery and treatment in Bulgaria, much cheaper than that produced by water resorts in Europe. A level of service - Europe.
In Bulgaria, there are cities where so many mineral springs, mineral water that flows even in the water. This is one of the best resort towns in the western Rhodope Velingrad, where out of the ground beat 86 sources with the waters of different compositions and temperatures - from 22 to 96 degrees. The balneotherapy center of Velingrad untreated metabolic disorder and the widest range of diseases - respiratory, digestion, kidney, nervous system, musculoskeletal system ...

Vinotherapy

Heals country roses not only water but also the famous Bulgarian wines. The local highlight - a combination of wine therapy and bathing with a rare medicinal mursalskim tea, which grows high in the mountains of Bulgaria. It is believed that the procedures for this tea not only heals, but a positive effect on male potency. And specially selected red wines are included in the combined therapy, such as grape cream for face and body.
In mursalskogo tea and wine Bulgarians brought in the SPA-technologies aromatherapy massage Bulgarian rose oil, which has long been a hallmark of the country. At the annual celebration of the harvest Bulgarian roses in the Rose Valley holiday travel enthusiasts from around the world.

Sandanski: holy doctor

The resorts in the mountains of balneotherapy in conjunction with the climate really works wonders. As in Sandanski, where water, mountain air and the absence of allergens a 100% cure of bronchial asthma in children and adults are much easier to state with respiratory diseases. Second place in this world no. The climate here is similar to the Mediterranean - it ripe lemons, pistachios and olives.
Healing air and mineral springs of this place, which for centuries was called the "holy doctor," attracting people for more than one millennium. Glorified it as miraculous in the IV century. Daughter of the emperor Constantine died from an unknown illness. The Romans, who settled here, the emperor wrote a letter to local waters and climate. Constantine sent for treatment daughter and she is completely healed.
Addition to respiratory diseases, in Sandanski, treat and conduct prevention of other diseases, particularly gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal system.
In Sandanski many attractions, including historical and wineries. But tourists who are not so important mountain air, and in addition treatment would like to see more interesting, I would advise to go to Hisar, located in central Bulgaria.

Hissar: resort state level

Balneokurort Augusta (Hissar) was considered the largest in the Roman Empire. The Romans valued it so that was surrounded by a wall, which is almost entirely preserved to this day. Arrives to treat gout all the Roman emperors. Today, Hissar - one of the most famous resorts, where travel on weekends ambassadors of different countries. We rested here, Mikhail Gorbachev and Kim Il Sung.
Springs in Hissar 22, of cranes, as well as in Velingrad, flowing mineral water. There are successfully treated kidney and urinary tract, digestive and metabolic disorders. Since the city has always been a resort, producing in him almost no part in Hissar a group of clean cities in Europe.
No need to write that water, wine, and stunning views of resorts in Bulgaria are being treated for stress, nervous disorders and bad mood. That there is only one mineral water flowing from the taps! I spent five days in Bulgaria and procedures are not taken, but simply bathed in the mineral water and drank it. On the last day my hair began to curl again, as in childhood. Must be from mineral water. And my grandmother remembered an old saying: "In the joy of your hair curl, and woe sekutsya. Maybe it is. Bulgaria - a country that is able to give health and true joy.
