Bešeňová sits in Slovakia's Liptov region, where a deep borehole delivers mineral-rich geothermal water. The modern thermal park opened in the late 1990s and grew around striking travertine-like terraces stained by the water's heavy mineral load.

Why visit

A rare combination of high mineral content and wide mountain views: the pools face the Chočské vrchy and, on clear days, the Low Tatras.

Deeply mineralised geothermal water that deposits travertine crusts around the pool terraces.

Practical information

Popular with families and busiest in the winter ski season. Pools range from warm relaxation basins to cooler recreation water; the mineral content stains textiles, so darker swimwear is advisable.
