Datorita rocilor vulcanice si sedimentare din sol, emanatiile de bioxid de carbon si de
hidrogen sulfurat au favorizat aparitia a mai multor izvoare de apa minerala, folosite in
tratarea afectiunilor stomacale si intestinale, a afectiunilor de cord si ale sistemului
vascular. Aici, atat apa, cat si gazul, au radioactivitate naturala relativ mare.
    Baile Balvanyos de azi s-au format din contopirea a trei colonii de bai care au
functionat odinioara. Cea mai veche este cea care se situeaza in pasul Balvanyos:
Pucioasa din Turia (cuvantul "pucios" se refera la mirosul urat al hidrogenului sulfurat).
Because of volcanic and sedimentary rocks in soil, carbon dioxide emanation of

worked once. The oldest is the one that is located in step Balvanyos.This: Smelly from
