Health Spas

The Nizhny Novgorod region offers a range of health firms and spas to soothe and relax which more and more people are beginning to appreciate. Leisure re­ports in beautiful surroundings, local natural springs and healing mineral mud baths, modern health centres, highly qualified staff in our sanatoria (the name for places where people go for health cures in Russia) - yes all this provides a wonderful opportunity to restore and consolidate your health in a pleasant climate. What is more, you will not have to tire yourself out by traveling as the complexes are all in one area.

The principal health resort areas in the Nizhny Novgorod region are Zelyony Gorod (Green Town), Gorkovsky Reser­voir (Sea) and the leisure complexes on the banks of the river Volga, Oka, Tesha, Serezha, Vetluga to name but a few. Gorkovsky Reservoir and its surrounding coniferous for­ests create an excellent microclimate which have a positively curative effect on our bodies. Many of the sanatoria have their own vitamin mud baths and mineral springs on site.

A holiday in our region at any time of the year will always leave you feeling satisfied: in the winter, you can go cross-country skiing or for a ride in a snowmobile in the wooded «Berendeevo Tsarstvo»; or you could let your body and soul gently languor in a real Russian bania (or sauna); or how about having a light aerobics session in the pool? In summer you can mosey about on pedalos, play a few sets of tennis, or stroll in the forests which are always bursting with berries and mushrooms.
