The historical and geographical associations of Egerszalók have made it a favourite spa in Hungary. Since not all of the dissolved solids precipitate, the
Egerszalók spa pools contain water rich in calcium, magnesium, and hydrocarbonate minerals.
There are a total of 17 outdoor and indoor pools and the spa has a total water surface area of 1,900 m². The water there is good to cure bone injuries, joint gout and rheumatics.
Interestingly, the area’s waters have been in use since the 1730s, although the current Saliris Resort Spa and Conference Hotel and the adjacent spa we wrote about above only came into operation in 1961.
Those who visit the spa can take a walk in the forests surrounding the area or can taste the
Egri bikavér, one of the most famous wines of Hungary.
