Конечно, Херсонская область Украины – далеко не Kamchatka and not Iceland. But there are their own geysers. And if hot water beats out of the ground like a fountain not among the snow-covered beauties, but directly in the steppe, which has been carved by the sun, it does not lose its healing properties.
In this article we will tell about geysers inKherson region. They have a very interesting story, because it was not Nature that opened them to humans, but ... scrap metal seekers. But entrepreneurs found the find of hapless lovers of easy money. They are equipped on the geysers of the pool. Of course, this cannot be called a world-class spa, but the prices for recovery in the hot springs are purely symbolic.
How to get to the geysers, we will describe below. You will also learn how much it costs to enjoy swimming in the hot healing water.
In the distant nineteen seventy-first year,in the fall, employees of the state enterprise Krymmorgeologiya searched for minerals on the left bank of the Dnieper. The purpose of the expedition is still not clear. Some rumors say they were looking for oil, others that gas. But they found, having drilled a well with a depth of fifteen hundred and twenty-seven meters, a hot water strongly saturated with iodine. Find geologists did not inspire. They assigned source number six and brewed the exit of thermal waters with a huge metal plate.
Years have passed.Already in independent Ukraine there were some hunters for scrap metal. Having calculated in their minds the profit they can make, having passed a plate weighing several tons, they drove a tractor and started to realize their dreams. The result almost ended with the death of metal hunters. Water under pressure threw the valve on six meters! But she weighed several tons. And then the small village of Obloi became famous throughout Ukraine. After all, geysers were beating on its territory. In the Kherson region, there were immediately enterprising people who wanted to privatize the natural wealth of the people of Ukraine.
Сельсовет населенного пункта Облои сдал гейзеры в Kherson region for rent to a limited liability company. Nothing but a fence and a barrier was built by this LLC. Business people simply took money from anyone who wanted to swim in the geyser. After repeated complaints about the low (or rather, zero) level of comfort in Obloi, even workers in the fight against organized crime have descended. In the end, the hot geyser in the Kherson region (or rather, the land around it) was transferred to another tenant. But even judging by the latest reviews, the rest infrastructure there remains at the most rudimentary level.
These are three baths:two - with water (twenty to thirty meters), and the third - with curative mud. The fluid in the pools is dark brown. Reviews recommend taking bathing suits, "who do not mind." Water from the geyser comes out at +70 aboutC, but in pools it is a little cooler - about forty-five degrees. Around the tanks there are cabins for changing clothes. The shower room is already functioning, where you can wash salt and iodine, as well as a massage room.
В Херсонской области есть еще один целебный geyser - radon. It is located on the Arabat Spit of the Azov Sea, behind Genicheskaya Gorka, not far from the village of Schastlivtsevo. But the natural reservoir is administered by a balneoclinic where cerebral palsy is treated. And the second healing geyser in the Kherson region, not far from the Obloi village, is often compared to the Dead Sea in Israel. There is a lot of iodine and bromine in its water, there are also insignificant concentrations of calcium, potassium and boron. The fluid is very dense, pushes to the surface. This geyser is recommended to visit people with diseases of the joints, musculoskeletal system, respiratory tract, kidneys, thyroid gland, nervous system. But it is undesirable for pregnant women to go here - a visit to the pool can provoke a miscarriage.
Unfortunately, the state of the road to thisunique natural phenomena leaves much to be desired. Therefore, tourists do not recommend going to the geyser after the rains - you will get stuck. From the city of Naked Pier should go in the direction of the resort of Iron Port. At the village of Bekhtera should turn onto a dirt road and move to Obloyam. Geyser is located two kilometers from the village. But enterprising residents have already built cottages in the immediate vicinity of the baths, which they rent to those who are treating. After all, to achieve a positive and lasting effect, you should take two baths per day for an hour for at least a week. The cost of visiting a bath still remains symbolic: fifteen hryvnia per person. But the use of the shower is worth the extra money.
