The Castle Bath of Gyula offers approx. 5000 m² water surface area with a total of 16 pools of thermal water. The thermal water of 72°C erupts to the surface from a depth of 2,500 meters beneath our earth's surface. We recommend it primarily for the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions and diseases as well as for localised nervous system rehabilitative treatments following accidents. It's also beneficial for post-operative recovery and inflammatory diseases - including gynaecological conditions. The thermal water contains alkali-hydrogen carbonate-flora and as you can see, has a brownish tint due to the high mineral content.
The treatment sections are opened both summer and winter time under the strict supervision of a medical specialists and rheumatologists. Patients can benefit from services such as mud and galvanic treatments, electrotherapy, light baths, weight baths, underwater massage treatments, medical gymnastics and medical swimming exercises.
