Mineral springs & spa
Mineral water from the spring, baths and pools, 15–20 minutes away
Mineral water from the spring, warm pools a quarter of an hour from the hill
Țara Dornelor sits on mineral water. Vatra Dornei grew into a spa town in the late 19th century, around its carbonated springs. The Dorna and Poiana Negri waters are still bottled today in Dorna Candrenilor, on the road between the cabins and the town.
In the Central Park in Vatra Dornei you drink the water straight from the spring. For warm water there’s the spa centre in Dorna Candrenilor, with pools and saunas, or the treatments at the Călimani treatment centre.
