Along with treatment, warm mineral water is also a source of positive emotions and pleasure, an opportunity for rest and relaxation.

In Hisarya there are 22 mineral water springs with a temperature from 37°C to 51°C. The first studies of the physical-chemical composition of the mineral water springing from time immemorial were made in 1882 in the laboratory of the East Rumelian Sanitary Council. Since 1954 the water is regularly monitored by the Chemical Laboratory for the Analysis of Mineral Waters.
