A little piece of the Orient in the western Slovak hills
The spa is located in a northwestern part of Slovakia close to Trencin in one of the side valleys of central Vah River region. Altitude is 272 m above the sea level. Due its position the spa is protected from winds, as well as easily accessible to sunshine from the south. Their romantic beauty inspired the famous novelist Mor Jokai to describe them as the Pearl of Carpathian.
First written mention about the warm springs in this area dates back to 1242, detailed description comes from Tomas Jordan from Klausenburg dated 1580.

Walking into the Hamman hall in Trencianske Teplice conjures up memories of the fairy tale "One Thousand and One Arabian Nights", when Sheherezada tried to make up a new love story every night.
An indoor arcade with vaulted ceilings, beds lining the ornamented tile walls, and marble drinking fountains spouting mineral water from the springs welcome visitors to the soul of this health resort situated in the forested Teplicka valley just 10 kilometers northeast of Trencin.

As a holdover from bygone days, the grand lounging space of Hamman can only be enjoyed by men. Women can access the adjoining century-old Sina thermal swimming pool through a separate, plain white entrance that was used only by servants in the last century.
Spa such as Sina helped this town of only 5.000 people build a reputation as the best-known spa in the Hungarian Empire during the 14th century. Its renown still holds true today. Specializing as a local to treat rheumatism, Trencianske Teplice cradles a balneo therapy complex of hot sulphurous springs and mineral rich mud.
As it gushes from the springs directly into the indoor and outdoor pools, the water reaches optimal healing temperatures of 37 to 40 degrees Celsius.

While Trencianske Teplice is a small town, it seems much bigger, due to the annual swell of more than 18.000 visitors and patients that converge on it during the summer season, classical and traditional folk concerts and occasional operas and theater performances are staged at the Kupelna Dvorana cultural center in the 2-kilometer long park.
At the end of the park is a lake, where swans linger, eager to be fed by passers-by. For those with a more energetic bent, go to the tennis courts.
In Trencianske Teplice are annuals performances organized as part of Hudobne leto (musical Summer) festival, with regular promenade concerts and performances by folklore ensembles. Another important event is the film festival, which Geraldine Chaplin`s daughter, honored with her presence.
