About
On the Hidegség/Valea Rece in Gyimesközéplok/Lunca de Jos, heading upstream for 10 kilometers, one reaches the Muhos Stream. Here there is a spring known as “büdös víz” (“stinky water”), which in the late 1960s and early 1970s was used as a small therapeutic bath in a modest two-tub facility. Since then, only its memory remains—along with the locals’ wish to once again enjoy the beneficial and healing effects of the water.
Building on this idea, Emil Prezsmer and his son Zsolt began constructing a 110-square-meter, two-story building and developing its surroundings. The facility is intended to serve both the residents of Gyimes/Ghimeș and tourists, offering the chance to experience the healing power of this unique water in a picturesque natural environment and under civilized conditions.
