Between the Azov Sea and Siwash Lake there is an unique sand spit - Arabatskaya arrow - a total length of 110 km.

It is the longest beach in Europe, the warm Azov Sea with small depths near the shore, clean ionized air, lots of sunny days per year, the healing salt lakes
and unique therapeutic thermal waters rising from a depth of 1600 meters.

In the distant 70s of last century the spit were drilling to find oil. When the depth of the well was 1600 meters it went not oil from it but hot water.

When the researchers took water samples for analysis it appeared that the water is therapeutic - thermal mineral iodine-bromine, sodium chloride, a highly mineralized, neutral weakly alkaline water.

The formula of the chemical composition of water: J 0,005-0,040, M 29,0-35,0 CI> 90, pH 6,8-8,0, Br 0,050-0,150, H3BO3 0,200-0,350, Na + K> 90, T 43, 0-45,0 degrees Celsius.

Thanks to the healing properties of water for the treatment of many diseases as early as 1980 in the Arabatskaya arrow was built and opened hydropathic (balneary) which same year took its first patients.
