Our water
Our water: a unique treasure
Our thermal water comes from the uncontaminated basins of the Little Dolomites
and of the Lessini Mountains in the Prealps, and flows down in the subsoil through
the limestone reaching a depth of 2000-3000 m. In this subterranean course, about
80 km long and with an average duration of 25/30 years, the water is enriched
with mineral substances that are particularly beneficial, then to resurface in
our district at a temperature of 87°C.
The beneficial strength of this water is incomparable for its sodium chloride,
bromide and iodide content and for its therapeutic properties. It is this water
that is the secret behind the most modern therapeutic and aesthetic treatments
at Galzignano Terme: balneotherapy, mud therapy, hydrokinesic therapy and inhalation
cures.
