The climatic Štós Spa, which was established in 1883, is located in the picturesque part of southeastern Slovakia and surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery full of fir and pine trees. According to the Swiss classification, the spa has a healing climate with stimulation rated as Level 1 and includes typical features of a mountain landscape.
The spa focuses on the treatment of diseases of the respiratory system. This is not only due to it being at a suitable altitude of 650m above sea level, but also the high number of sunny days and its forest park with over 200 tree and flower species, complemented by streams with cascades and a fountain. It has been designated as a National Cultural Monument. The effect of the spa's climatic therapy is multiplied by speleotherapy – a unique therapeutic method provided in the nearby Jasovská Jaskyňa cave. The spa has gained extensive experience in this therapeutic method and has achieved markedly positive results. A stay in the spa is made even more agreeable thanks to a new feature that pleases both the body and the soul. The Vital Water World is an attractive facility with water and vapor baths, including a herbal, eucalyptus and Finnish sauna, vital rain, water journey, hydro massage pool and a tepidarium.
