Hajdúszoboszló bath spa resort

 

On 25 October, 1925 a miracle took place in the small town of Hajdúszoboszló.

While searching for hydrocarbones, a 73 0C thermal spring, with a healing power that was proved shortly after- wards, was found 1091 metres below the surface.

It is Pávai Vajna Ferenc, a distingui-shed geolo- gist, the 'father' of our thermal water, who is to be thanked for finding this wonder of nature that has been sewing mankind for more than seventy years now.

This brownish, velvet-like, hot treasure of the Earth's depths had flood nearby surface dents and ditches and local people soon began to bathe and wash their clothes in it. And the amazement did not stop. They soon realised that the water simply performed miracles.Wounds eased faster and rheumatic ills eased.

The sensational news raised experts' interest. They analysed the "hot gold" and got unprecedented results.

Dr. János Bodnár, director of the Institute of Medical Chemistry studies at the Medical University of Debrecen wrote about the thermal water found in Hajdúszoboszló like this '... According to our analysis this water, containing iodine, bromine and salt is unique of its kind. Considering the findings of the chemical analysis and the very high temperature of the water we can state ... this water is unique and on the basis of the analyses available - there is no water that is similar to it. '

According to balneologist Dr. Zoltán Dalmady '... concerning physical chemistry the Hajdúszoboszló thermal water has a very interesting feature. In its concentration and composition it is quite similar to the composition of human tissue fluids. It is especially remarkable compared to seaside spas, since the Hajdúszoboszló thermal water is nothing but the conjured up spirit of the Triassic age seas. Considering its salt content it can be regarded as diluted sea water, but it still differs from sea water because it has a low magnesium and calcium content and at the same time has a significant amount of hydrocarbonate in it. Nevertheless it is still very good for medical cures and for recreational purposes, just like any other seaside spa with a similar concentration.'

Based on the analyses of the scientists the town decided to build a spa. One and a half year later on July 26 th, 1927. the so-called "sand-spa" opened to the public.

The 70 years that elapsed since, have been rich in events, tourism has picked up and the spa had to be enlarged and modernized several times to be able to meet new demands. Thanks to the town, which has always supported the spa, the medicinal spa was able to reborn time after time and develop to live up to the expectations of each and every age. Just like it is doing the same thing now, approaching a new millennium.

During the time of the change in economic policy - in 1991 - the municipality converted the baths into an incorporated company, which has been the majo- rity owner since then. In the middle of the nineti- es, bottling of the mineral water commenced, the company's own travel agency was opened and its own camping site was constructed.

The 1st January 1996 is a significant historical date. The one-time nationalised thermal wells of Hajdúszoboszló, were returned to their rightful owner. The representative body in 1995 decided unanimously on their repurchase!

From 1996 to these days a great renewal process had been finished in Hajdúszoboszló Medicinal Spa, because the management of the Co. with the owner Local Government started its development project at this time: In 1996 our medicinal sanatorium- the Hotel Thermal Therapy - opened its gates, which had had an own bath building soon. New therapies started to work in Hotel Délibáb and Hotel Silver enlarging the number of medical treatments, too. In 1998 we finished the modern thermal bath's building, that we are really proud of!

Whith the help of Phare supporting, in 2000 Hungary's first entertaining water center, the Aquapark had been established. The Széchenyi Project offered a 2,5 milliard investment in 2000-2001. It helped in developing the open air bath, enlarging the Aquapark, building new therapy rooms in thermal bath,new learner's and medical pools, a sauna, and at last but not least in autumn of 2002 the hall of our themal bath had been improved. The most significant developments are in the open air bath, because with renewing of pools, Europe's only mediterranian beach had been established with different beautiful sights. We hope, that increasing our services can satisfy every age- group of entertainig,refreshing and recovering!

 

In 1925, Hajdúszoboszló, during a search - drilling for oil ; thermal water appeared from the depth, 1100 m, at 75 OC. According the analyses it turned out that the water contained iodine, bromine, salt, hydrocarbonate as well as bitumen ( including oestrogen ) and different trace elements: vanadium, copper, zinc, silver, strontium, barium, lead.
