Customer Reviews
The canyon is spectacular. There was quite a bit of workers building parkings spaces, river banks and new pools for visitors. We walked the riverbed in the canyon itself. There are at least three warm pools along the way. First ones rights next to the bridge. There was some trash, but not after the third pool though. They tried to scam us in the parking lot-be aware. Some friendly dog walked with us.
The thermal baths were a very pleasant experience. The water is nicely hot and comfortable, and when you walk through the canyon area there are another 2–3 pools to enjoy. There isn’t much else beyond that, but it’s a beautiful place to look around and take a relaxing walk.
Recommend to arrive early. The later the more people. We came around 9 and it was just about right. Had a swim at the first pool and walked to the gorge The bridge is lovely and picturesque. But why do people have to park righ next to it? Cant they use legs and park at the carpatk? This should be banned! Impossible to take a nice photo of the bridge with the cars in front. There is a new carpark being built right now, so hopefully there will.be restrictions. Overall a lovely experienece, the vést was walking in the riverbed thought the gorge and without people. Do not forget watershoes.
