Kyustendil

Kyustendil branch

The City of Kyustendil is in a vast plain at a moderate altitude of – 525 in the northern foot of the Osogovo Mountain. The sanatorium is in the city center. The main resources of the branch are the mineral water and the peat mud originating from the swamp “Chuklyovo Blato” in the Village of Baykal, Kyustendilsko (the peat mud depot is the only swamp approved for medical purposes). The peat belongs to the peloidal group, formed as a result of a geological process. The mineral water is curative due to its sulphide, silicon and low fluorine content.  The ingredients of the mineral water are very important, low mineralization and sulphur, salts and various ions, temperature 17, 5 – 73 ^оС. It is clear, colorless with pleasant taste despite the slight hydrogen sulphide odor.
