Chundzha Hot Springs, vitalizing thermal springs
Like the Ak Suu Hot Springs in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan also has its own hot springs located in the village of Chundzha. With about 20,000 inhabitants, Chundzha is a fairly large village that by now is already set up for tourism with small bazaar stores, among other things. But if you want to breathe clean air, get healthier at an affordable price AND enjoy local Kazakh cooking, Chundzha is definitely the place to be for you.
Various healing properties are attributed to the water: recovery of skin diseases, recovery of digestive diseases, prevention of cardiovascular diseases. The water is also said to help with depression and to improve the immune system. This is because the water contains radon, which has a therapeutic effect on the human body. The springs of Chundzha perfectly stand up to comparison with renowned thermal sites such as the springs of Baden-Baden. Not surprisingly, numerous health institutes are located in the vitalizing springs area.
Volcanic heat of Chundzha
The water in Chundzha’s hot springs has a year-round temperature between 37 and 50 degrees Celsius due to natural volcanic activity. According to the temperature, the baths are divided: from hot to very hot. Thus, each bath has a different temperature and the visitor can choose which bath to visit.
Due to the high constant temperature of the water, it never freezes. So you can enjoy benevolent warmth year round, even in the heart of winter when outside temperatures drop well below zero and the landscape is covered with a thick layer of snow. This adds to the thrill of the visit. An experience never to be forgotten!
