The mineral water-rich village of Ognyanovo lies in Southwestern Bulgaria, in the skirts of the Rhodopi mountain. The spa resort is situated in a mountainous area at some 550m. above sea level and in close proximity to the bed of the Mesta river. The biggest town in its neighbourhood is Gotse Delchev, located just 13km away from Ognyanovo.
The area is rich in mineral water springs, which had already been used during Roman times. This is testified by remains of Roman spa facilities, later transformed into the village’s public bath. Interestingly, excavations just outside the village of Ognyanovo have unveiled lime layers, suggesting that the area had once been the bottom of a freshwater basin.
Ognyanovo offers perfect conditions for recreation and spa treatment all around the year for its mild Mediterranean climate. The mineral water temperature here is 43
oC and has low mineralization and no smell. It is used for the treatment of a broad spectre of neurological, bone, muscular, intestinal, endocrinal and other illnesses. Ognyanovo and the surrounding are offer accommodation in a number of hotels, holiday houses, and private villas.
