What are tanks and how did they appear?

Modern Carpathian vats are large cast-iron boilers with thick walls. And the boiler itself is integrated into a special platform or stands on a fireplace. This cast-iron tank is filled with mineral water, to which various useful herbs, needles, etc. can be added. A fire is made under the vat and the water is gradually heated to 40-45 degrees Celsius. This allows you to feel comfortable even in the winter season.

Bathing in tanks is accompanied by further bathing in cold water, it can be a natural reservoir or a pool. Mineral water, surrounding nature, aromatic herbs and contrast of temperatures benefit various body systems. And the most remarkable thing is that these hot tubs in the Carpathians are located in the open air in winter and summer, thanks to which you can simultaneously enjoy bathing and the unique beauty around.

Now you know they are vats. But how did they appear? It is believed that they first appeared on the territory of Transcarpathia – in the village of Lumshory. It was the customs of local residents that started the tradition of healing by bathing in large containers with contrasting temperatures. Today, they have become popular not only in the territory of the Carpathians or Western Ukraine, but also all over the world.

How is the process of bathing in tanks?

The process of bathing in vats is quite simple and clear – there is a capacious cast-iron cauldron in the open air, under which the fire breaks out. The water is heated to 40-45 degrees. Stones are placed on the bottom, which will simultaneously retain heat and protect against burns.

It is important to remember that you need to immerse yourself in the health baths gradually, so the body will get used to the temperature drop. If you wish, you can sometimes take a break to splash yourself with cold water, or dive into a reservoir, especially cool when it is a mountain river. In Transcarpathia, you can find tanks of completely different sizes, which can accommodate 3, 6, 8, 10 people and even more.

Numerous reviews claim that you should visit the vats with a view of the mountains precisely in the winter season. Just imagine – it’s winter, it’s snowing, and you’re in a tank and admiring the scenery, believe me, it’s something you’ll remember for a long time! And what a relaxing and restorative effect you will get after a few days of skiing or snowboarding, plunging into warm water with healing herbs, and the view of the winter Carpathian mountains opens before you.

How to choose the right tanks?

Transcarpathia will delight tourists with an incredibly huge selection of places with tanks of different sizes, prices and volumes. But before swimming, we recommend making the right choice:

  • Cleanliness. Be sure to pay attention to cleanliness. If it is dirty, then resting in the vats in Transcarpathia may not result in recovery, but a fungus or a more serious disease.
  • Size and volume. It should correspond to the number of people who will bathe in it. For large companies, choose a tank for 6-10 people, and if you want to relax together, then a small tank.
  • Feedback. Always check the reviews of past visitors – when choosing the most popular places, you are guaranteed to find opinions from other visitors.
  • Location. Choose a tank that will be close to the hotel or directly in the hotel. it is unlikely that you will want to go somewhere for a long time after the procedure.
  • Wall thickness. The greater the thickness of the cast iron, the more evenly the heating and cooling of the water inside will occur, so it is in the tanks with a thick wall that you will get maximum pleasure.
  • Form. Tanks are round and triangular in shape. Here, everything depends on the preferences – it is easier to be in a half-lying position in a rounded one, and to sit in a triangular one.
  • Properties of water. Transcarpathia has quite a lot of mineral springs with different water properties. In popular spas, the water really has healing properties, and some spas fill their tanks with ordinary spring or artesian water.

Taking all this into account, you will be able to choose the appropriate solution individually for yourself. And, of course, you should pay attention to the appearance of the tank itself.

Various types of tanks

Depending on your preferences and goals, you can choose the tank that suits you:

  • Standard tanks. These are classic tanks in which mineral water is pure. The optimal choice if you want to relax and relieve stress.
  • Pots on herbs. These are vats to which various herbs from the Carpathian forests have been added. Adding herbs will not only allow you to relax, but also to enjoy the pleasant aroma of plants.
  • Tanks with hydrogen sulfide water. Hydrogen sulfide water, not mineral water, is used, which will improve immunity, make the skin smoother and more elastic, and also promote the health of the musculoskeletal system.
