Surrounded by the relaxing greenery of the Euganean Hills, the Euganean Spas (Terme Euganee), with the two main centres of Abano and Montegrotto and the smaller ones of Galzignano, Battaglia and Monteortone of Teolo, are worldwide famous for the mud and spa treatments. The secret is in the spa water, which falls into the category of deep underground waters. They are of meteroic origin and derive from the uncontaminated basins of the Lessini Mountains in the foothills of the Alps, passing through calcareous rocks and into the subsoil at a depth of approximately 80 kilometer route that takes an average of 25/30 years. During this time they take on mineral sals and finally reach the Euganean Spas where they spring forth at a temperature of 87°C. The abundance of the dissolved substances make this water a unique thermal resource, one of its kind in the world. From the chemical point of view these waters are classified as hyperthermal sodiobromidiodic waters.
