Everything you need to know about Carpathian vats

Rest in the Carpathians - these are, first of all, high mountains, ancient castles, wine cellars and... hot vats!

Although Japanese, Scandinavians, and other peoples claim the right to be called creators of vats. It is believed that the first real bathing tank appeared in the village of Lushmory in Transcarpathia. Therefore, we offer you to join the original Transcarpathian ritual of bathing in tanks at the Voevodyno resort.

It seems that until recently it was difficult to imagine a worthy alternative to baths and saunas. They had no equal in terms of the health-improving effect on the body, and the satisfaction from the procedure itself. But today, the guests of our resort increasingly choose vats.

What are vats in the Carpathians?

Don't know what vats are? We will tell you, but it is better to try 1 time than to hear 10, so we invite you to Voevodyno!

Carpathian vats - these are special vessels of large size, the shape of which resembles a hemisphere or a tub. Usually, they are made of a thick layer of cast iron, which does not burn the skin when heated, and can also maintain a set temperature for a long time.

Carpathian vats are known throughout Ukraine and beyond. Now you know what tanks are. If you have not yet warmed up in a hot tub with coniferous or herbal extract, breathing in crystal clear air and looking at the mountains, definitely do it! We are sure that you will definitely like such a vacation!

How to properly steam in a tank

There are many traditional recipes for chan. Hotel Voevodyno offers its guests only the best and most useful. Each of the recipes has its own range of action and is aimed at improving the functioning of a certain system of organs.

If only during your vacation in Zakarpattia you understood what it is like to breathe clean, non-carbonated air, we invite you to a vat with natural coniferous extract. Its effect will help to additionally clean the lungs, and also improve blood circulation and normalize blood pressure. After such a procedure, you will gain peace and sound sleep.

For people with problems of the nervous and circulatory system, we recommend a tank with magnesium phyto-concentrates. Magnesium is one of the most important elements for our body. It heals many diseases and has a rejuvenating effect.

To experience the true flavor of Transcarpathia, visit the Carpathian vat with an infusion of healing herbs from the local forests. They grew in an ecologically clean region on the slopes of majestic mountains to give you all the benefits that nature itself laid in them.

A real salvation for people with diseases of the musculoskeletal system is a tank with hydrogen sulfide, that is, actually bathing in mineral water. Hydrogen sulfide is known for its effectiveness in the fight against many diseases. In combination with thermal exposure and fresh air, this effect increases many times.

Contraindications for steaming

Carpathian vats are contraindicated in:

  • Cardiovascular diseases;
  • Inflammatory processes in the body;
  • Inflammatory processes of the musculoskeletal system;
  • In open wounds or in case of recent surgical interventions;
  • Feeling unwell and increasing body temperature.

In such cases, it is better to refrain from bathing in tanks and choose light procedures in the spa.

Bathing in Carpathian baths: worth a try?

Definitely, yes! What is a holiday in Transcarpathia without a visit to the vats? Here, several factors work at once to improve your health: the contrasting effects of hot and cold water on the body, mineral water, clean mountain air, and the soulful company of friends.

It is easy to breathe in tanks, which means that there is an opportunity to communicate with friends and family. But do not forget about the useful additives that are an integral part of the culture of the chans.

Why do guests prefer swimming pools in the Carpathians?

The fact is that bathing in a tank is much easier and more comfortable for the body than the hot air of saunas and baths. In the tank, the thermal effect extends only to the lower part of the body, while you breathe clean and cool mountain air. Hot air does not burn the face, heating occurs evenly. And, believe me, the pleasure of being able to dive into a cool mountain river after a hot tub cannot be described in any words!

Another important plus - the procedures in the tank have a short list of contraindications compared to the bath and sauna. For many people, the Carpathian vats are the only safe option for thermal effects on the body. Another important advantage of vats follows from this – the health-improving effect.

If you want to experience all the benefits of bathing in the vats, we invite you to visit the Voevodyno Hotel. We will prepare the best Carpathian vat, SPA for relaxation and heavenly rest in the Carpathians!
